The following search query will locate all websites that have the words "admbook" and "version" in the title of the website. It also checks to ensure that the web page being accessed is a PHP file:d
mbook intitle:admbook intitle:version filetype:php
Another technique is searching for insecure coding practices in the public code indexed by Google Code Search or other source code search engines. One can even retrieve the username and pass- word list from Microsoft FrontPage servers by inputting the given microscript in Google search field:
"#-Frontpage-" inurl:administrators.pwd
Devices connected to the Internet can be found. A search string such as inurl:"ViewerFrame?Mode =" will find public web cameras.
