Using Google for getting interesting information

Using Google for getting interesting information


Hi, I am a french student and I heard recently about the capacity of google to deal
with documents from Word, Excel or Powerpoint. Intested in that fact, I decided to
experiment some words and expression (with ") to look for (sorry if my english is not
perfect..) and I found some combos that give enormous results. In google, if you
type things like :

1)"Index of /admin"
2)"Index of /password"
3)"Index of /mail"
4)"Index of /" +banques +filetype:xls (for france...)
5)"Index of /" +passwd
6)"Index of /" password.txt

And you can continue as long as your imaginatio is active. For example of my
results, I saw great informations from the central banks of Luxemboug and
Switzerland, could admin a SQL server, ...

So, I don't know if it is a great technical bug, but I know about hacking
and security (I would like to be a security consultant later..) (and I am
looking for a training in security in a foreign country like US or
England...) and even if we don't get root access immediatly, it is
a great step for social engineering and spying.
