Threat Actor Mindset | LegionHunter

You Should Know:

Google Dorking, also known as Google Hacking, is a technique used by threat actors to find sensitive information or vulnerabilities using advanced search operators. Below are some practice-verified commands and codes related to Google Dorking and reconnaissance:

1. Basic Google Dorking Commands:

– `site:example.com inurl:admin` – Searches for admin pages on a specific site.
– `intext:”index of /” “parent directory”` – Finds open directories.
– `filetype:pdf “confidential”` – Searches for confidential PDF files.
– `intitle:”index of” .env` – Looks for exposed `.env` files containing sensitive data.

2. Advanced Dorking for Vulnerabilities:

– `site:example.com inurl:login` – Finds login pages.
– `inurl:view.shtml` – Searches for live webcams.
– `inurl:php?id=` – Looks for SQL injection vulnerabilities.
– `inurl:wp-content` – Finds WordPress-related directories.

3. OSINT Tools for Reconnaissance:

Use theHarvester to gather emails, subdomains, and more:
```
theHarvester -d example.com -b google
```

Use Recon-ng for comprehensive reconnaissance:

recon-ng -m recon/domains-hosts/google_site_web

Use Sublist3r for subdomain enumeration:
```
sublist3r -d example.com
```

4. Linux Commands for Reconnaissance:

Use `curl` to fetch headers and check for vulnerabilities:
```
curl -I http://example.com
```
Use `nmap` for port scanning:
```
nmap -p 1-1000 example.com
```
Use `dig` for DNS enumeration:
```
dig example.com ANY
```

5. Windows Commands for Reconnaissance:

Use `nslookup` for DNS queries:
```
nslookup example.com
```
Use `netstat` to check open ports:
```
netstat -an
```

What Undercode Say:

Google Dorking is a powerful technique for both ethical hackers and threat actors. By leveraging advanced search operators, you can uncover hidden vulnerabilities, sensitive data, and misconfigured systems. Always use these techniques responsibly and within legal boundaries.
