Google Dorks, Unite!

The Google Hacking Database is a great resource for anyone who wants to explore the privacy-busting power of a modern search engine. Paste the entries into Google and see what confidential and/or otherwise sensitive material you can uncover. It is frightening from a socio-technological perspective, but it also represents a cool way to spend those otherwise-idle 45 minutes before the kids wake up on a Sunday morning.

Oh yes, the term, Google Dork, as defined by this site, is as follows: "An inept or foolish person as revealed by Google." Welcome to the new age, everyone.
