Goolag Unveils Tool To Hack Google

Goolag has unveiled a tool that should make Google hacking a easier for novices. The open-source software lets hackers use the Google search engine to scan web sites and sift through the mountain of data.

Goolag comes with an easy-to-use graphical interface. It is based on techniques developed by Computer Sciences Corp. researcher Johnny Long, a well-known computer hacker who has spent years documenting the way that Google's search engine can be used to uncover security vulnerabilities in the Web sites it indexes.

The group released a statement saying, "It's no big secret that the web is the platform... And this platform pretty much sucks from a security perspective... Goolag is a tool for web site owners to patch up their online properties."

Goolag is developed by The Cult of the Dead Cow, best known for creating the Back Orifice, which is a software that can be used to remotely control a Windows machine.
