Hi, I am a french student and I heard recently about the capacity of google to deal with documents from Word, Excel or Powerpoint. Intested in that fact, I decided to experiment some words and expression (with ") to look for (sorry if my english is not perfect..) and I found some combos that give enormous results. In google, if you type things like : 1)"Index of /admin" 2)"Index of /password" 3)"Index of /mail" 4)"Index of /" +banques +filetype:xls (for france...) 5)"Index of /" +passwd 6)"Index of /" password.txt And you can continue as long as your imaginatio is active. For example of my results, I saw great informations from the central banks of Luxemboug and Switzerland, could admin a SQL server, ... So, I don't know if it is a great technical bug, but I know about hacking and security (I would like to be a security consultant later..) (and I am looking for a training in security in a foreign country like US or England...) and even if we don't get root access immediatly, it is a great step for social engineering and spying. I hope you will answer me very soon. I love your web site !!!
