The Google “site:” Operator
The Google “site:” operator is one of the most powerful search tools available from Google for target reconnaissance.
Target Reconnaissance
Once normal search methods locate sites that have useful data and you have explored those links using the cache operator, its time to do some serious anonymous target reconnaissance.
Using the “site:” Operator
This operator allows you to map an entire domain. Use the operator to get a listing of every indexed page on a domain. Try this: site:microsoft.com.
The operator will accept additional arguments. For instance, site:gov secret will search all domains ending in .gov for the word secret. Try it.
Notice that the search results include links to the cached pages for the domain. In conjunction with the site operator, you will use additional arguments targeting your subject. Your anonymous target reconnaissance will be conducted by viewing the cached pages. You will not click on any links on the cached pages as these will go to live pages. You will not allow your browser to download any images on the cached pages, as they may be live images from the target domain. You will be STEALTHY. They won’t see you coming.
