🔥 Telegram: https://t.me/hackinarticles
✴️ Twitter: https://x.com/hackinarticles
Want to improve your web recon workflow? 🔎
Google operators can help security researchers discover publicly indexed information about an authorized target.
🎯 Useful recon patterns:
🌐 Domain Discovery
site:example.com
📄 Find PHP pages & parameters
site:example.com ext:php inurl:?
🐞 XSS-Prone Parameters
inurl:q | inurl:s | inurl:search | inurl:query | inurl:keyword
🔀 Open Redirect Candidates
inurl:url= | inurl:return= | inurl:next= | inurl:redirect=
📁 Potentially Interesting Files
site:example.com ext:log | ext:txt | ext:conf | ext:ini | ext:env
📊 Negative Search
site:example.com -www -shop -share
🧠 Recon mindset:
Discover → Filter → Validate → Document → Report
⚠️ Important: Search-engine indexing does not mean a resource is vulnerable. Use these techniques only against systems you are authorized to test, and avoid accessing sensitive data you don't need.
📌 Save this cheat sheet for your next bug bounty recon.
