Google Hacking/Dorking

Google hacking / Dorking utilizes Google's advanced search engine features, which allow you to pick out custom content. You can, for instance, pick out results from a certain domain name using the site: filter, for example (site:tryhackme.com) you can then match this up with certain search terms, say, for example, the word admin (site:tryhackme.com admin) this then would only return results from the tryhackme.com website which contain the word admin in its content. You can combine multiple filters as well. Here is an example of more filters you can use:

Filter	Example	Description
site	site:tryhackme.com	returns results only from the specified website address
inurl	inurl:admin	returns results that have the specified word in the URL
filetype	filetype:pdf	returns results which are a particular file extension
intitle	intitle:admin	returns results that contain the specified word in the title

An example below reveals only subdomains for a website:

-site:www.tryhackme.com site:*.tryhackme.com
