Athena is a search engine query tool for passive information gathering. It uses a semi-compatible configuration format to Foundstone's SiteDigger to query search engines for information leakage. It is best used in conjunction with SiteDigger for manual exploration of Search Engine findings although it is a somewhat different animal. Athena can be downloaded from the project home page at http://www.buyukada.co.uk/projects/athena/ There is a mailing list accessible via http://www.buyukada.co.uk/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/athena-discuss Athena 1.0 Features: Multiple Search Engine Support (multiple Google types from a drop down box, Yahoo support, extensible to other search engines)Logging of Athena-launched queries (but not IE follow-up traffic :P) Easy to use (Successfully tested on the IT Illiterate) Completely manual (No automation) Todo: Athena logging on/off toggle Bugfixes... many bugfixes... Credit where Credit's due: Athena wouldn't exist without Foundstone's SiteDigger - it'd be called GoogleHack and would be sitting quietly in a folder on my workstation, so mad propz to those guys. Also greets to Jamaica Dave, Muaddib and the Unabomber for being good test subjects, and of course the guys at johnny.ihackstuff.com - without whom none of this would probably have happened. This has been a buyukada.co.uk production. It's ok, I'm a friend of Dave's.
