Footprinting and Reconnaissance - Footprinting through Search Engines


Attackers can use search engines to extract information about the target. He/she can extract information such as technology platforms, employee details, login pages, intranet portls, etc. It helps them in performing social engineering and other types of attacks.

Take for an example, you want to create a phishing page to hack someone's facebook account. For this you need to know the target and contact him/her directly or indirectly. This can be done via his/ her facebook messenger. Also you have to visit the facebook login page to create a similar duplicate page. In the above steps, you collected information from search engine.

Apart from obtaining information from search engines, Search engine caches and internet archives may also provide sensitive information that has been removed from World Wide Web.

This technique is mainly used whenever you want to get details of a server which were removed by the administrator a few days ago or when you want to get the details of a website at a particular past date.
