# Google Dorks

Google dorks, also known as Google hacking, is a technique used to search for vulnerabilities in websites and applications by using specific search queries in the Google search engine. Here are the steps to use Google dorks for enumeration on the domain "example.com":

1. Start by identifying the target domain: In this case, the target domain is "example.com".
2. Formulate a Google search query: The query should be crafted in such a way that it returns relevant information about the target domain. For example, the following query can be used to search for sensitive information such as login pages, email addresses, and confidential documents related to the domain "example.com":

site:example.com intitle:"login" OR intitle:"email" OR intitle:"restricted" OR intitle:"confidential"

3. Execute the search query: Go to Google and paste the query in the search bar, then press "Enter" to execute the search.
4. Analyze the results: Review the results of the search query and look for any relevant information that can be used for enumeration. Some of the information you can find includes login pages, email addresses, and confidential documents related to the target domain.
5. Repeat the process: Repeat the above steps and formulate different search queries to find more information about the target domain.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://bugbounty-for-starters.humbertojunior.com.br/reconnaissance-phase/footprinting/google-dorks.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
