Cult of the Dead Cow releases Google hacking tool

The Cult of the Dead Cow, the infamous hacking collective, has released a Google hacking utility called Goolag Scan that brings the ability to search the information engine for web-based data that is normally hidden to anyone wannabe with a web browser and half a brain. It does this by implementing something in the region of 1500 customised Google search routines to reveal application server passwords, credit card numbers, corporate email records and audit logs to name just a few examples. Sure, the ability to find this stuff is open to anyone using Google who knows what to look for and how to filter the results accordingly. Sure, the real problem is the companies who have not properly secured the data in the first place so making it available for such searching. But let's be honest, the Cult of the Dead Cow sure ain't helping matters.
