Google Dork

Google Calc:

Google can also be used as a calculator, here are the few calculator operators that you can
use to perform arithmetic operations in Google.

+ , - , * , / , % of , ^

Goto www.google.com and in the input box, type in the calculation that you want to perform,
something like 8-5, Then you can get the appropriate result. Likewise you can use the rest of
the Calculator operators.

+ and - is not only meant for performing arithmetic operations, but you can use them to narrow down your search. Search for hacking + ebooks this will search for both hacking and ebooks, but gives more priority for ebooks rather that hacking.
Search for hacking – cracking so that you can restrict cracking related sites and info while searching for hacking.

Searching for Phrase ?
If you are searching for a phrase, then don’t forget to enclose it within quotes, it doesn’t matter, whatever the quote is, either single or double quote.
“igconito” or ‘igconito’

Wildcard search:

“adm*”

Some other Google Opertors:
Site:

This operator is used for search only one website alone for particular result. hacking info site:www.microsoft.com This query will narrow down your search and will find some hacking related information on the site www.microsoft.com.

Num range:
10….20

This is similar to the filetype operator. ext:pdf “Networks”

Define:
If you want to use Google like a Dictionary finding out for meaning or the definitions, you can use the define operator. define:hacking

allintext:
This is somewhat similar to the normal search that most of them do often, you can search for a specific term in google, and can use more number of words enclosed with quotes. allintext:defaced mirror

SECURITY METRICS - Attack Surface Metrics

Operational security metrics are the metrics we are most familiar with in our lives. When we measure the height, width, or length of an object we are using an operational metric. When we write the date, have a birthday, or ask the score of a game we are using operational metrics. An operational metric is a constant measurement that informs us of a factual count in relation to the physical world we live in.

They are operational because they are numbers we can work with consistently from day to day and person to person. It is difficult to work with relative or inconsistent measurements like choosing a specific hue of yellow to paint a room, starting work at sunrise, having the right flavor of strawberry for a milkshake, or preparing for the next threat to affect your organization’s profits because the factors have many variables which are biased or frequently changing between people, regions, customs, and locations.

For this reason, many professions attempt to standardize such things like flavors, colors, and work hours. This is done through reductionism, a process of finding the elements of such things and building them up from there by quantifying those elements. This way, colors become frequencies, work hours become hours and minutes, flavors become chemical compounds, and an attack surface becomes porosity, controls, and limitations. So we can now quantify the attack surface as "ravs".

PHP Security Course

PHP Security Course – Advanced PHP Auditing at Source and Bytecode level

Two weeks after the Month of PHP Security closes Stefan Esser will teach an advanced PHP security course at the SyScan Singapore security conference.

The course will cover advanced methods and techniques for PHP applications audits at source code and at bytecode level. The students will get to know the most common PHP security problems and how to find them at source code and bytecode level. Throughout the course several free and open source software tools will be introduced and used in order to visualize application structure, find security problems with static and dynamic analysis on source code and bytecode level and also to break PHP bytecode encryption.

THC and The Nokia Rom Images

THC and The Nokia Rom Images - 2006-09-06

In mid july Nokia charged THC with copyright infringement and threatened with a lawsuit. THC took down thc.org to prevent further cost and a legal disaster.

A month earlier THC discovered significant security flaws in Nokia's Operating System. To proof it THC published ROM images of 3 phones. THC did not publish the source code or tools but one thing became apparent: To extract the ROM images core security features had to be breached. THC's ability to load kernel modules and gain access to the core of the OS (including the GSM stack) was something Nokia did not like.

At the time of the release THC was not aware of any copyright protected material inside the roms. The question has to be asked if Nokia chosed the right method by threatening THC with a lawsuit or if an email could have achieved the same. Was their concern really copyright infringement? The software in the rom-images could not be used, not be ported and not be run on any other mobile phone. In addition all software is already available on every phone. Phones that are given away by the mobile operators for 1 Euro or sometimes even for free. So if everyone has access to the software anyway what is the point in threatening THC? What was their real intend? We might never find out. But what we know is that they managed to silence THC for a month.

If this is professional practice? We do not know. It is certainly the practice that Nokia chose. We also know that no attempt was made by Nokia to inquire about the security vulnerability. We also know that Nokia did not provide any updates for their customers.

Making sure that the hardware we purchase is secure is not a crime. In fact taking a look at what we buy should be our duty. We should not trust big corporates who claim in TV advertisements how secure and safe our data is. We have to test it and proof them wrong whenever we can.

In fact researchers should demand that manufactures like Nokia must provide full documentation of their hardware. The buyer becomes the owner of the mobile phone and thus has the right to know how to program the hardware. Nokia does not provide any of such information. Free software or a different operating system can not be used because of limited access to documentation. This is a classic example of a hardware giant allowing only his own software to be used. This is what some people would consider a Monopoly and an abuse of power.

THC is deeply concerned that Nokia did not choose the diplomatic route.
