The infamous computer hacker group Cult of the Dead Cow (CDC), best known for creating the Back Orifice some 10 years ago has released a software tool which can make Google hacking a little easier for security professionals and criminals. The open-source software called Goolag lets hackers use the Google search engine to scan websites for security flaws. The software is based on work done by a hacker using the name “Johnny I Hack Stuff”.

So if you are a website operator or a System Administrator, you might want to check your server(s) for vulnerabilities using this tool before hackers use your server(s) for crime or mischief.
