Scan your WordPress site with Goolag to detect and fix security holes.
?The Cult of the Dead Cow? announced last week, the release of Goolag Scanner, a free open source web-auditing tool. Goolag Scanner enables anyone to examine their website via Google for any security holes. The scanner technology is based on “Google hacking” developed by Johnny I Hack Stuff. Goolag Scanner can be used by web site owners to detect and correct any security flaws in their web site.
Johnny previously published a collection of these “Google Hacks” or “Google Dorks” on his web site, which are used by ?professional? hackers. Goolag scanner has now packaged these into a GUI automated tool that allows an unskilled hacker to use these very same techniques.
Goolag Scanner is a standalone windows GUI based application using about 1,500 pre-configured Google search queries or dorks. It searches for links to vulnerable web applications, back doors, or documents containing sensitive information. You can select individual searches or sets of them. You restrict the search to your own server, or extend it right up to an entire top-level domain. The results are displayed as a list of URLs that can be opened in the browser. However, if you use the tool too much, Google may block your IP address and there may also be legal implications so be cautious when using it.
