Custom Dorks to find Bug Bounty Programs
You Should Know:
Google Dorking for Bug Bounty Hunting
Google Dorking (or Google Hacking) is a technique used to uncover hidden vulnerabilities, sensitive data, and misconfigured web applications using advanced search queries. Security researchers and bug bounty hunters leverage these dorks to find potential targets.
Essential Google Dorks for Reconnaissance
Here are some powerful Google dorks to help you discover bug bounty programs and vulnerable systems:
1. Find Bug Bounty Programs
inurl:/bugbounty OR inurl:/security OR inurl:/responsible-disclosure
2. Expose Open Directories
intitle:"index of" "parent directory"
3. Locate Exposed Database Files
filetype:sql intext:"password"
4. Find Login Pages
inurl:/admin/login.php OR inurl:/wp-admin
5. Discover API Keys
"api_key" AND "github.com"
6. Exposed Configuration Files
filetype:env OR filetype:config
7. Find Exposed Git Repositories
inurl:/.git/config
Automating Dorking with Python
Here’s a simple Python script to automate Google dorking:
import requests
from bs4 import BeautifulSoup
query = "inurl:/bugbounty"
url = f"https://www.google.com/search?q={query}"
headers = {"User-Agent": "Mozilla/5.0"}
response = requests.get(url, headers=headers)
soup = BeautifulSoup(response.text, 'html.parser')
for link in soup.find_all('a'):
href = link.get('href')
if "url?q=" in href and not "webcache" in href:
print(href.split("?q=")[bash].split("&sa=U")[bash])
Linux Commands for OSINT & Recon
- Extract URLs from a Website
curl -s "https://example.com" | grep -Eo "(http|https)://[a-zA-Z0-9./?=_-]"
- Check Open Ports
nmap -p 80,443,8080 target.com
- Find Subdomains
assetfinder target.com | sort -u
Windows Command for Network Scanning
for /L %i in (1,1,255) do @ping -n 1 192.168.1.%i | find "Reply"
What Undercode Say
Google Dorking remains a powerful tool for cybersecurity professionals, bug bounty hunters, and threat actors alike. By mastering these techniques, you can uncover hidden vulnerabilities before malicious actors exploit them. Always ensure ethical hacking practices and obtain proper authorization before probing systems.
Expected Output:
- A list of bug bounty programs and vulnerable endpoints.
- Exposed configuration files, API keys, and databases.
- Automated reconnaissance scripts for efficient OSINT.
