Q & A

What is the main focus of the video?

The main focus of the video is to demonstrate how to efficiently use search engines, particularly Google, for ENT (ethical network tracking) investigations.

What are some of the topics covered in the ENT master class mentioned in the video?

The ENT master class covers how to find someone's personal email address, phone number, and use leaked databases for investigations. It also includes courses on hacking wireless access points and using radio frequency attacks to unlock vulnerable cars.

What is a Google dork, as mentioned in the video?

A Google dork refers to the use of specific search operators and parameters in Google to narrow down search results, often used to find specific information such as personal data, cached results, and publicly accessible content.

How does the quotation mark operator help narrow down search results?

The quotation mark operator helps by forcing Google to search for the exact phrase or name within the quotation marks, reducing the number of irrelevant search results.

What does the 'inurl' Google operator do?

The 'inurl' operator instructs Google to look for a specific word or phrase within the URL of search results, which can be useful for tracking usernames or other unique identifiers across websites.

Keywords

💡Google Dorks

Google Dorks are advanced search techniques using specific operators to retrieve more refined or targeted search results from Google. In the video, the speaker demonstrates how using Google Dorks, like placing search terms in quotation marks or searching within specific URLs, helps to narrow down search results, making investigations more efficient.

💡Quotation Marks

Quotation marks are used as a Google operator to search for an exact phrase or word combination. In the video, the speaker uses quotation marks to narrow down a name search, reducing the search results significantly from thousands to a few hundred, showcasing the importance of precise searches in investigations.

💡Site Operator

The 'site' operator is a Google search modifier that limits search results to a specific website. In the video, the speaker explains how it can be used to search within a specific site like Facebook or Twitter, demonstrating how it helps to find information more efficiently, even for deleted posts.

💡ENT Investigation

ENT investigation refers to 'Ethical Network Testing' investigation, which involves using legal and ethical methods to gather information online. The speaker introduces this term to describe the overall theme of the video, focusing on how search engines and other tools can be used to find personal data ethically for investigative purposes.

💡Cached Results

Cached results refer to a stored version of a webpage that Google saves. In the video, the speaker highlights how cached pages can display content that has been deleted from the live version of the site, which is valuable in ENT investigations when seeking deleted or hidden information.

💡Inurl Operator

The 'inurl' operator is a Google Dork that helps find search terms within a URL. The speaker demonstrates its usefulness by showing how searching for a username with the 'inurl' operator can significantly reduce search results, aiding in pinpointing specific online profiles or posts.

💡Google Hacking Database

The Google Hacking Database (GHDB) is a collection of Google Dorks that can be used to find vulnerable information online, such as publicly accessible cameras or databases. The speaker introduces this concept to show how these pre-set search strings can be leveraged for ENT investigations.

💡View.shtm

View.shtm is a file type often found in URLs related to publicly accessible cameras. The speaker uses this example in the video to demonstrate how a specific Google Dork can locate unsecured cameras online, which is part of ethical hacking investigations into vulnerabilities.

💡Username Search

Username search involves using search engines to track down where a specific username appears across different platforms. The speaker demonstrates this in the video by searching for his own username to illustrate how investigators can trace someone's online presence efficiently using Google operators.

Transcripts

in this video I would like to show you

one of the most essential skills that

you have to get as an ENT investigator

which is using search engines

efficiently now I have an ENT master

class on how can you find someone's

personal email address and personal

phone number and also using leak

databases to escalate and leverage your

ENT investigation if you're are

interested in taking this course you can

subscribe to the newsletter you'll get

25% discount plus the cyber aome toolk

plus to many ethical hacking courses on

how you can hack your own wireless

access point and how can you unlock

vulnerable cars using radio frequency

attack so let's get started hello and

welcome to this video my name is sad

from cyber sudu don't forget to like And

subscribe not many of you watch the

video and subscribe so make sure to

subscribe to the channel and follow me

on social media for more aent and

hacking content now I'll be posting aent

tips on my Instagram and on my LinkedIn

account so make sure to follow me there

so what we are going to do in this video

is how can you use Google dorks to

narrow down our search results so if you

have the person name and you just type

it in Google you get maybe millions of

sear results but if you have some other

information that could be related to

this person then you can narrow down the

search result by using the Google

operators to filter your search results

so without being said let me show you

examples on how you you can do this now

since Google is one of the most popular

search engines we will be relying on

Google for the purpose of this video and

to make this video not very long so if I

just search for my name for example

saraj and hit enter we can see that we

get like

250,000 search results and we can see

that these are searches that are related

to me as you can see I have posted

something on Z security I have a

LinkedIn account this is not my Facebook

account Etc but but this is not a very

efficient way because you don't want to

look at 20 250,000 search results so one

of the most important Google operators

that you can use to nor done your search

result is putting the text between two

quotation marks so in this case if I put

s Sage within two quotation marks Google

will only look for this name it's not

going to look for anything else I hit

enter we can see that right now we have

7,90 search result which is way less

than before four which is why it's very

important to use the quotation mark Now

by looking at the first search result we

can see that we have a LinkedIn account

which is my LinkedIn account and we can

see that the username is s SJ so what we

can do is that we can tell Google to

look for this username in the URL and by

doing this we will see where this

username is actually used so if we say

for example in url and then s saraj what

this is going to do is that it's going

to look for this username in the URLs

and we can see that we only have five

search results the only account that I

have is this one this LinkedIn account

the others are not mine but we can see

how much effort we have saved this is

why it's very important to use Google

operators because it will narrow down

your search result and it will save a

lot of time so another very important

operator that you can use is called site

which will serve SE in a specific site

so let's say that you are looking for s

in Facebook instead of going to Facebook

and search for S which is something that

you can do you can actually use Google

search engines to do so but you may ask

and say hey why would I even go and use

Google if I have Facebook I can just go

to Facebook and then search for this

person and the answer is when you search

for this person in Google sometimes you

will find some cashed results and if the

person has deleted a

post or a comment then they will appear

on the Google search engine so in this

case I have specified the website that I

want to look in and I want to search for

the string s saraj or the text S saraj

I'm going to hit enter and we can see

that we have 165 search results instead

of

250,000 and we can see that we have the

username s SJ and we have other people

who are named also s saraj now what I

like to do is just to go to images and

see what information I can find here

because sometimes you will find images

of the people who posted something for

example or maybe s saraj has commented

on pictures so if I clicked on this m

MSI laptop and then clicked on here it

will open this post and you can see that

the post is actually not posted by sad

saraj you can see that it's might be

something in the comments and if I

scroll down a little bit I can see that

sad SJ is actually in here or I can say

uh contrl F and inside and I will be

able to find him and we can see his

comments now this is not something that

this is something that you cannot see

when you go to Facebook because the

group could be private Etc and this is

why Google is very important and if you

went to All For

example you can go and and see if they

have posted something and see whether

this page is actually cached so you can

click on this dots and then click on

here and this one is not cached so I can

scroll down a little bit I can click on

here this one is cached I can open the

cached version so if they have deleted

their comment you can find it actually

in here you can see that this is the

mobile version if I scroll down we can

see that he have mentioned somebody

called Omar sharov so this is why it's

very important to use Google search

engine or the Google operators now if

you would like to search in multiple

websites what you can do is just say

site and then the domain name or site

and then the domain name in this case I

said look for sat sage in Twitter or in

Facebook and when I hit search I can see

that I have 140 search results now if we

look at sad saraj in Twitter for example

going to hit enter and scroll down we

can that we only have like four search

results we can see that somebody here

like mentioned me or did something if I

clicked on the post or the URL it will

redirect me to the profile of the person

and I can search in his profile where he

mentioned me as you can see he mentioned

me right here or I can open the cashed

version as we have done before which

will make it very e easy for me as you

can see here's the tweet that he did to

mention me now the second very very

important Google operator that you need

to use is the and so I'm going to say s

SJ and ENT so it will only give me

search results of this name and this

keyword so since I do ENT videos then

it's going to show me where this person

has appeared with the keyword ENT and as

you can see we have

330 results now if I removed this and

only looked for sat saraj we have more

than 7,000 results now the way you can

use this is by adding the person's name

and then add the city or the country

where he lives or she lives and

therefore you will get only information

that are related to these two key wordss

for example I can say s SJ and and

Germany I don't know if I'm going to get

anything but I just try it and as you

can see we can only see that we have

five search results we can see this is

my blog and this is something something

that's related to me as well I found

this method very very effective because

if you have a very popular name like

John Smith then you need to narrow down

the search results because if you didn't

do this you're going to waste a lot of

time the last thing that I would like to

show you is the Google hacking database

and this database contain many Google

doors that you can use to find certain

information for example you can find

publicly accessible cameras you can find

maybe databases you can find usernames

passwords everything using the Google LS

now in this example I would like just to

show you a demonstration and here are

all the new recently added Google dorks

you can basically just copy it and test

them on your own and in this example I'm

just going to look for online accessible

cameras and one of the Google dorks that

I've tried is actually this

one so if you have copied this Google

dork and put it in Google we can see

that it's actually very simple we're

only looking for view. shtml in the URL

and the keyword camera so let's do this

and here are the search results and if

we open this one for example we can see

that this is an axis uh camera I believe

and we can wait a little bit and see

that this is actually a live camera that

we were able to see just by using this

Google D and you don't have to enter any

password or username to view this camera

and as you can see we are able to view

the footage of this camera without

ending any username and password and

here's a challenge for you if you were

able to

geolocate this image or this video then

please tell me in the comments

section and how you have done it I'm

very interested in this so that's it for

this video if you liked it and learn

something new don't forget to like And

subscribe to the channel I'll appreciate

this a lot and Google will

just uh recommend my videos to other

people who are interested in oen thank

you so much for watching and I'll see

you

soon
