Have you Googled yourself before ? ...
-
Just handed in a paper on Google Hacking and Personal Information security ....
I wonder if chaps here have googled themselves before ? ....
go try it ! ... it can be quite frightening, the stuff you can find about yourself using google ...
It seems that many employers are using google to vet potential employees as well ... the "I know what you did last summer" situation is now very real .... something to think about eh ....

I've tried and believe me, you definitely cannot find anything related to me.
-
Aiyahhh......I google this name....later all my companies name show up....
no but seriously....just now I googled my real name.....got 3 results show up....luckily nothing bad.... -
I googled my name before too.
Nothing relevant to me, but there were things like a cave in China, a temple in the same country, a German record label and a Japanese game company. Oh yes, and a rich merchant from China. -
I share my first name and surname with a convicted person.

googling your nick on sgforums does not count hor ...
instead of just typing in your full name, you can perhaps do a more thorough search using google's advance search operators, and focus the search on a particular domain, file type, platform, etc ....
I got a lot more hits of a few of my project websites when I focus the search to pages on my school's domain ..... it also helps to reduce junk results ... I also discovered pics of myself on sites of friends whom I don't even know have sites ! ...
but the point really, is of course, that personal information security is an important issue that everyone has to be aware of .... does your blog, personal website, whatever, have pictures and bits of personal information that you'll never want to see the light of day ? ... or information that may be of use to spammers ? (read: email addresss) ..... -

as powerful as google is, it's still a search engine that follows established protocols, e.g. robots.txt .... you can also disable google from caching or listing directories from your server configuration ......Originally posted by ndmmxiaomayi:Use google and try all sorts of methods still can't find.

the real threat, however, are from the harvesters and hackers .... someone can always write a crawler that doesn't follow robots.txt for example, all you have to do, is to look at that particular file on a site and get your crawler to dig there .....
but it's still pretty scary what google can do ... during my group's research, we managed to gain user access to a pay-to-view adult website ! ... using just google to map out the vulnerabilities ....
