Overview What You Will Learn Curriculum Instructor

Course Overview

Sensitive data from web applications can be indexed by Google and then it becomes publicly exposed to everyone on the Internet. In this course, you’ll learn about different types of sensitive data that can be indexed by Google. What’s more – you’ll learn about the technique known as Google Hacking and you’ll see how Google Hacking can be used by ethical hackers and professional penetration testers for finding security weaknesses in web applications. 

First, the course will present how you can use Google Hacking to find directory listings and SQL syntax?errors. After that, we will demonstrate how you can find publicly exposed backup files and internal server errors by means of Google Hacking.  

Next, you can use Google Hacking to find sensitive data in URLs and insecure HTTP web pages. Then, it will be explained to you what Google Hacking Database is and also inform you about a critical vulnerability in Microsoft Yammer Social Network that allowed the attacker to gain unauthorized access to users’ accounts by means of Google Hacking. 

Finally, you will learn how to prevent Google indexing from happening. 

What you’ll see primarily in this course are demos and real-world scenarios because I want you to make the most of this course and apply this knowledge in your own penetration testing projects.
