gdorking

gdorking is a tool and reference for Google Dorking (a.k.a. "Google Hacking") — the use of advanced search operators to surface publicly exposed or misconfigured resources. It auto-generates an up-to-date dataset of known dork queries from the Exploit-DB Google Hacking Database on a weekly cadence.

Data Sources

The data files below are automatically generated by GitHub Actions on every push to main and on a weekly schedule. They are not hand-maintained.

• Text File
