Inspiration & Genius – One and the Same

Index of /etc/passwd … no, really …

The title pretty much says it all. There’s so many ways to search, here’s a couple. Please, be serious, don’t be a pill and use this for bad stuff. This information is freely available on the web if you know where to look!

Clicking on this link:

intitle:index.of people.lst

- is the equivalent of typing this into google: intitle:”Index of” “people.lst”.

I’m dumbfounded that this actually works. So – why not go for gold – how about clicking on this link

intitle:index.of passwd passwd.bak

- which is the equivalent of typing this into google: intitle:index.of passwd passwd.bak – I’m not kidding – try it! You go to all that trouble to secure your passwords (we hope) but miss the basics of securing your environment. This is an extreme example of doing it wrong – are you sure you ‘got it right’?
