cDc releases Goolag Scanner (posted by MiB on Februari 20th, 2008)
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
SECURITY ADVISORY: The following program may screw a large Internet search
engine and make the Web a safer place.
LUBBOCK, TX, February 20th -- Today CULT OF THE DEAD COW (cDc), the world's
most attractive hacker group, announced the release of Goolag Scanner, a web
auditing tool. Goolag Scanner enables everyone to audit his or her own web
site via Google. The scanner technology is based on "Google hacking," a form
of vulnerability research developed by Johnny I Hack Stuff. He's a lovely
fellow. Go buy him a drink.
"It's no big secret that the Web is the platform," said cDc spokesmodel
Oxblood Ruffin. "And this platform pretty much sucks from a security
perspective. Goolag Scanner provides one more tool for web site owners to
patch up their online properties. We've seen some pretty scary holes through
random tests with the scanner in North America, Europe, and the Middle East.
If I were a government, a large corporation, or anyone with a large web site,
I'd be downloading this beast and aiming it at my site yesterday. The
vulnerabilities are that serious."
Goolag Scanner will be released open source under the GNU Affero General
Public license. It is dedicated to the memory of Wau Holland, founder of the
Chaos Computer Club, and a true champion of privacy rights and social justice.
GOOLAG SCANNER FUNCTIONS AND FEATURES
Goolag Scanner is a standalone windows GUI based application. It uses one
xml-based configuration file for its settings. All dorks coming with the
distribution of gS are kept inside one file.
