A good searcher can be a person to reckon with!
« on: May 24, 2008, 01:05:05 AM »
Hi malware fighters,

Use this information to your advance. It can also be used for wrong purposes,
but it is an interesting read anyway.
Search engines such as Google and Yahoo are crucial to regular use of the Internet.
They are also indispensable tools for hackers
who can perform information gathering without ever visiting the victim site.
In this presentation Security Compass founder
Nish Bhalla walks through examples of how search engines could be used to aid hackers.
