Today I will show you how to use the search engine Google to snoop around, and find things that people don’t necessarily want you to see. I will be showing you how to view files in unprotected directories.

Sometimes people fill directories up with files, but forget to include the index file. Sometimes these directories get indexed in Google, and can be found if you know exactly what to search for. You’ll be amazed to see what some people have stashed away in their web directories. I currently use these searches to find music, videos, images and other media. NOTE: Stealing copyrighted material is ILLEGAL and I take NO responsibility for how you use this information.

Ok, lets get down to the nitty gritty now.

The common denominator on all unprotected directories are the words ‘Index of’. Of course, typing this in to Google won’t get us very far, so let’s take this one step further. This search string will find a list of unprotected directories. The -inurl part makes sure we are finding a directory and not files and the rest of the string contains other common factors of unprotected directories.

-inurl(html|htm|php) intitle:”index of” +”last modified” +”parent directory” +description +size

Now, for the fun. Let’s say we want to find some images. Let’s modify the search to add +(gif|jpg) to the end of it

-inurl(html|htm|php) intitle:”index of” +”last modified” +”parent directory” +description +size +(gif|jpg)

Now, let’s find something more specific. Let’s find Carmen Electra pictures – We’ll add Carmen Electra to the end of the string.

-inurl(html|htm|php) intitle:”index of” +”last modified” +”parent directory” +description +size +(gif|jpg) “carmen electra”

Ok, that should be good enough to get you started. This works for more than just gifs and jpg files, it works for all file types. Simply replace the (gif|jpg) part to (mp3|wma) or (avi|wmv) … Also, you need to keep the following 2 points in mind.

1. Sometimes you won’t find what you are looking for because the files have changed.
2. A lot of people know of this trick and will redirect you to other *bad* sites.

That’s it. Good luck!
