Google Hacks

[ajnabee100]

Here are sometricks to perfectly use the google search to get some fun.

1. Using Google to get Free Music - This allows you download free songs on websites that have music or media files.

In Google type the following: intitle:”index.of” (mp3|mp4|wmv) *SONG NAME HERE* -html -htm -asp -cf -jsp -php - Just like the camera hack you are searching for a site that has a particular segment of text in this case its intitle:

- the "index.of" is a search string that looks for directory listings most sites directory listings have index of in them
- You may ask what the. Is it is basically a place holder. it says to find "index of" with anything in-between it could be "index_of", "Index of", "index-of" and it would still return the same results. - Next comes the files type portion. In this case I wanted to search for music and some video formats so in brackets I put (mp3|mp4|wmv) - Next step was to search for the song name. Once again I use the period to symbolize anything between the names I chose to put "dream.on"

- the next step was to reduce spam by eliminating certain file types from showing up. all i want to see is directory listings where I can access the files not web pages so what i did was add common file types to the end like -html -htm -asp -cf -jsp -php

2 Using Google to find Proxies - Though I have a Proxy available i thought i would add how to search for free ones on Google.

In Google type the following: inurl:”nph-proxy” “Start browsing through this CGI-based proxy” - By now I hope you know what all is going on with the submission so enjoy all the proxies

so Enjoy the google.

On the Internet, the files are saved in the same way as they are saved on your computer. All the files are organized into folders so that they are easy to understand and use.

For example: On your computer, you may have different folders like, “music” or “videos” or “documents” etc.. On the Internet also files are generally organized into folders. For example, a mp3 music website site may have all the songs that the website provides in a directory called “songs”!

Now, if you can use Google to find the "songs" directory, you will have the directory and all the songs in it! That is basically what we are going to teach you how to do…

Note that, it’s not as simple as that. All the big sites, that serve 1000’s of songs and charge for it, are not going to just have their “songs” directory in the open for anyone to hack. There are many ways to protect your website from these Google hacks! Most big websites are protected from Google hacks.

But, this hack is still quite useful because there are many small websites out there who have their “songs” directory in the open and un-protected for anyone to see…

Now, an open or un-protected directory on the Internet, generally looks something like this:



Irrespective of where or how the un-protected directory is, it generally always looks like the image above. This is important because we are going to get Google to search for all these un-protected directories on the Internet…



In the image above, we have marked with a red circle all the parts of un-protected directory page that will be there in every un-protected directory.

The words:

* Index of
* Name
* Last Modified
* Size
* Description

will be part of almost every un-protected directory. There is also one other part that is there in every un-protected directory on the Internet. This part is, the words: “Index of” in the “Title” of the web page.

If you are not sure what the "title" of a web page is, you could look up to the top-most part of this window. The line right on top is called the title. For example: The title of this web page is: “Google Hacks -CafeMedico”

Similarly, the title of an unprotected web-page will have the words “Index of” in it. So, we are going to get Google to search for all these web pages of un-protected directories. We will be able to do this, using some basic Google commands....

Google is a search engine and a whole lot more. There are many cool things you can do with Google…For example: Try this….go to Google and type in “122131 + 32112” or “13324 - 231” or “2332 / 231” See what it gives you. Google can also be used as a calculator!

But, that is not needed for what we are trying to do. We just mentioned it so that you would know that there is a lot that Google can do….

What we are trying to do is look for pages that have:

* The phrase “Index of” in the title
* The phrase “Index of” on the page
* The word “Name” on the page
* The word “Size” on the page
* The word “Description” on the page
* The word “Last Modified” on the page

If you we find pages that fit this criteria, we will have found all the un-protected directories on the Internet. So how do we do this?

Type this line in the Google search box:
intitle:"index of" +"index of" +size +name +description +modified

When you search for this, you will find all the un-protected directories on the Internet that Goggle has found! Try to see what people have stored in the unprotected directories! It could be fun!

But, what is more important is, let us try to understand how that line works. Once you understand how that line works, you will be able to make your own lines and extract all sorts of cool things out of Google.

The line: intitle:"index of" +"index of" +size +name +description +modified

It is made up of many different small Google commands. The different commands are:

intitle:"index of" : This tells Google to only search for web pages with the term “index of” in the Title of the web page. The term “intitle:” is called an OPERATOR.

So if you have intitle:"index of" in the search box, Google knows that it has to search for only pages with “index of” in the title…

+"index of" : This tells Google that all the pages that come in the search results, must have “index of” on the page.

The “+” basically tells Google that whatever is after the “+” MUST be there in all the pages that Google provides in the results.

For example: You go to Google and type in “monkey +cat” it will provide all the pages that have the term monkey and also have the term “cat” in them. If you just type in “monkey cat” then the pages that have “monkey or cat” or “monkey and cat” may show up in the search results.

Basically, just remember if you want all searched pages to have a particular word, use the “+”! This is useful is the cases when you are searching for a “synonym” kind of word.

For example: Let us say you are searching for an article about “voice recognition”. But whenever, you type in “voice recognition” the results that come are about “Asha Bhosle”! But what you are looking for is the “method” of voice recognition.

So, to clear up the results, you can use a search terms like this:
“voice recognition” +method –“Asha Bhosle"

Now, you may get much better search results! The search results will be about “voice reognition”…. It will have only pages with the word “method” in them and it will NOT have pages with the term “Asha Bhose” in them.

Things to notice:

* If you put anything within “quotation” marks, Google searches for that exact phrase
* A “+” behind a term will make sure that term is there in all the results pages
* A “-“ behind a term will make sure that term is NOT there in all the results pages
* There is NO SPACE between the “+” and the term or the “-“ and the term. Basically there is no space between the “operator” and the term.

Having understood all this, let us look at the whole line again. It should make much more sense:

intitle:"index of" +"index of" +size +name +description +modified

The line basically tells Google to search for pages with:

* The phrase “index of” in the title
* The phrase “index of” somewhere on the page
* The word “name” somewhere on the page
* The word “size” somewhere on the page
* The word “description” somewhere on the page
* The word “modified” somewhere on the page

And if you understood everything till now, you will see how this command can be used to find all the un-protected directories on the Internet! Look at it carefully....

intitle:"index of" +"index of" +size +name +description +modified

Now, let us do cool stuff….let us find ebooks, games, songs etc.. in these un-protected directories!
