    It is not really about wether or not it is known as technique perse, but
    as used into a worm (can you call it a worm?). A program wich adopts the
    results of a Google query and takes actions upon it by exploiting the
    vulnerabilities found.

    Off course, people on this list know about Google as a tool for finding
    URLs with dubious locations (like somebodies admin folder). But using a
    tool for doing that and reducing the "target by the numbers" mentality
    is very new to me at least.

    But from the reactions of some people I can conclude that no tool is yet
    implemented on this kind of theory?

    Kind regards,

    Aschwin Wesselius

    PS: Thanks for the replies so far
