Google Bug That Returns Exclusive Porn Sites

You already know that Google can be used to find exclusive and hidden information such as Google webcam hack, which will allow you to access unsecured webcams. This is a new Google hack that will return some exclusive porn links. It is a bug and I am sure Google will fix it sooner than later.

Search strings that return mostly adult links include:

"1 2" -1
"1 2" -2
"h 3" -h
"1 4" -4
"apple 1" -apple

Logically these search strings should not return any results. However, it is returning some exclusive links.

What Google Chrome Thumbnails can tell about you

If you are using Google Chrome this might be something you might have to think twice. This is something really simple but can be end up with serious results.

Google Chrome has this user friendly feature that will show the thumbnails of the mostly visited websites by you. It is quite similar to take a print screen. I have noticed that it keep on taking the password protected pages. For example I can see the view of my Gmail, Facebook accounts in the Chrome Thumbnails.

If you working on a shared computer environment this is something you must take into consideration as these thumbnails might gives out any secret information of you out. If it is a regular page that you visit and if it display some of your secrets or secret picture in a password protected page but Google chrome might show it out.

Always use the Remove Thumbnails link below to remove such thumbnails from Google chrome New Tab.

Google Error - Google May Harm Malware Warning


I am tried searching for few things on google and all the results i got back said this site may harm your computer with a Malware Warning.

I thought it was problem related to my search query BUT

then I search for Google website from google and I got the same result. Here are the screenshot.

I tried restarting my computer, using firefox browser, chrome browser - everything returned the same. even tried google.com.au, google.com etc

Any one else experienced this problem??

Either the Google search Index is corrupted or Google is Hacked!

UPDATE: Google is BACK! :) We will have to wait for an official announcement from Google on the situation. I hope no private data stored on Gmail were compromised

Update: Google uses Stopbadware.org as its Malware partner and it had outsourced the malware check to it. Stopbadware.org is Down that brought down

Update: Spam emails spluring out into Inbox in Gmail after the Google May Harm situation. Hope this will be resolved soon

Update: Here's a official word from Google on the incident. I thought the Internet was coming to an end. I am Proud to have witnessed this event myself on the 31st of January 2009 :)

The company today blamed the mistake on human error and apologised to users and site owners whose pages were incorrectly labelled.

The glitch occurred between 1.30am and 2.25am, Google Inc said in an explanation on its company blog.

Anyone who did a Google search during that time likely saw the message "This site may harm your computer" accompanying every search result, the company said.

Google said it routinely flags any search results with that message if the site is known to install malicious software in the background or otherwise surreptitiously, a practice aimed at protecting its users.

It gets its list of suspicious sites from StopBadware.org, a non-profit project headed by legal scholars at Harvard and Oxford universities who research consumer complaints.

Today's error happened when the latest update to the list was received from StopBadware but was checked in such a way that the warning would apply to all URLs, the company said in a statement.

The glitch was caught by on-call staff and the file was quickly fixed, Google said.

Since the updates are applied in a staggered and rolling fashion, the errors began appearing at 1.27am and disappeared no later than 2.25am, with the duration for any particular user approximately 40 minutes, it said.

"We will carefully investigate this incident and put more robust file checks in to prevent it from happening again," said Marissa Mayer, vice-president of search products and user experience, in the statement.

Google Hacks Directory - Simplified

Google hacks is quite famous. It is quite simplest method to find hidden information in cyber space. Google Web cam hack, find mp3, e books, vedios, Torrents, Proxy are few of the common hacks. However, to do this you just have to provide Google bit complicated search string. For example normally you search for "Britney Spears mp3". It will give you many sites with information and places to buy Britney Spears mp3. With a small hack you can find all the Britney Spears mp3 indexes.
That search string is

-inurl:(htmhtmlphp) intitle:"index of" +"last modified" +"parent directory" +description +size +(.mp3.wma.ogg) "Britney Spears mp3"

I know that is bit too long to remeber and bit complicated too. One way is to seach Google to find Google hacks and copy this code in a file and next time when you want to search for Akon mp3 change where it says "Britney Spears mp3" to "Akon mp3". Quite simple but it is not simpl enough.

-inurl:(htmhtmlphp) intitle:"index of" +"last modified" +"parent directory" +description +size +(.mp3.wma.ogg) "Akon mp3"

Google hacks is small program that will generate the complicates search string for you. It is so simple and small file to be downloaded. Remeber one thing always download it from the original place. You can find this cool application from Google code.

This is what Jason Stallings who create this application tell us about Google hacks.

"Google Hacks is a compilation of carefully crafted Google searches that expose novel functionality from Google's search and map services. For example, you can use it to view a timeline of your search results, view a map, search for music, search for books, and perform many other specific kinds of searches. You can also use this program to use google as a proxy. "

I like the portable version which is less that 2MB and it is cool. Do you like it?

Funny Google Hack

Everyone knows that you can use Google for hacking. Now it is been a popular secret. Many search for Google Hacks. You can even find video tutorials how to use Google for hacking web servers, web cam and many more. But this is a funny thing happened to me while trying such a Google hack.

Google Hack I was trying was intitle:"Index of" master.passwd which will lead to master password files created carelessly ( with wrong file permission ) and indexed by Google. Nice got 614 results in 0.32 seconds.

Click the first link Index of /etc/passwd

Wooo hooo I can see the whole files structure including master password files and many more.

Click on the files and took me to a page and it display this message
