Open Source Information Examples - Fun for the whole family (2006)

In the last post I said that information could be retrieved by using google and other tools to retrieve information about a company. Following are some of the examples of the search terms that could be used in a data finding exercise:

• Directory browsing on webserver
• Identifying unpatched security flaws
• Password lists and information for the administration of servers
• Names of the administrators of the network
• Delegated owners of accounts
• Whois or Finger information
  

These are merely examples, more ferocious search terms can be found and utilized to identify other issues.
