Using google against google.

Hi, Good news for the spamers!! As most of us are aware that Google provides various options/operators for writing effective queries. One of the operator is the "site:" option, which restricts the search to the website specified with this tag. Just tried googling for some gmail accounts with site:gmail.google.com and the results were a list of urls with the title "Link Already Used". The area of concern is that all these pages are actually error pages with a valid gmail user accounts.... so with a small script its very easy for some one to glean a list of _valid_ gmail accounts. Do you have a gmail account? ....check if your name is already harvested ;-) -- peter peterparker () fastmail fm _______________________________________________ Dailydave mailing list Dailydave () lists immunitysec com http://www.immunitysec.com/mailman/listinfo/dailydave
