Bug bounty hunting is all about uncovering vulnerabilities in systems and applications. But did you know you could use Google to unearth these vulnerabilities? Enter Google Dorks, a powerful and often underutilized technique to find security loopholes with just a search engine.

Understanding Google Dorks

Google Dorks, also known as Google hacking, involves using advanced search operators to uncover sensitive information indexed by Google. This could include admin panels, login portals, or even sensitive files mistakenly exposed online.

How Google Dorking Works
