Learn: Google Hacks

Use Google Like an Ethical Hacker Would

Hello world! (Just like every coder would [If you'd like, excuse my slang.)] Yes, yes, I've switched the bracket and paratheses. This is going to throw you off, but how are you today? 😀

Hi, my names' Elize, EAF for short, and EAFverit social media wise. Eh hem...

In this document type, I'd like to show you how to use Google as an ethical hacker would. I'm on my way to becoming more than just an ethical hacker one day and I hope my knowledge will help those around. Anyways, here goes. 

Summary

Google's advanced search operators are shortcuts to search more precisely. Use "site:" to restrict to a domain, "filetype:" for specific files like PDFs, "before:/after:" for date ranges, "inurl:" for terms in URLs, "intitle:" for title terms, and "inanchor:" for anchor text. Operators like "OR"/"AND" combine keywords, while "related:" finds related sites. "define:", "weather:", "stocks:" provide info. "allintext:" searches content exactly. Mastering operators eliminates irrelevant results, finds specifics efficiently. Add them gradually to build expertise. With practice, they become second nature for powerful searching.



Yeee
    Searching on Google can sometimes feel overwhelming 🙄. 
You type in a few keywords and get millions of results back! But, Google actually offers some amazing tools to help you search more efficiently and find exactly what you want - these are called Advanced Search Operators.

Advanced search operators are like shortcuts you definitely can add to your Google search to make it more precise! 

For example, if you want to search only within a specific website, just add "site:" before the website name. So "site:wikipedia.org dogs" would search for dogs only on Wikipedia. They're easy once you get the hang of it.

You can also search for a specific type of file like a PDF by adding "filetype:" before the file type. Searching for "filetype:pdf dogs" would find PDFs about dogs.

There are operators to narrow a search by date range, restrict results to a numeric range, and more. Google has dozens of these handy operators built right in.

Using advanced operators can help eliminate irrelevant results and weed out junk. They're a great way to dig deeper and find exactly what you're looking for more efficiently.

It may take a little practice as you try out different operators, but making the effort helps you master power searching on Google. Just remember - start small and add operators one at a time to build up your search expertise. The more you use them, the more natural they'll feel. Happy searching!

How to maintain your senior dog.

 So from what I searched from the internet, Microsoft's Search Engine (SE), Bing, "What dogs require to live a long time" and here's what I got. From PetMD , titled "21 Longest-Living Dog Breeds", says on a list, 1. Chihuahua. Life expectancy: 14-16 years. ..." I'mma stop right there. I have an 11-year-old senior chihuahua. If you want to know more about the list, click the link in the text.  #Bluehyperlink, thanks.  Chleo is the name of my dog. I've been trying to change it to Cleo, short for Cleopatra but no matter the case, it's always going to be Chleo. This is her: I believe she's young, healthy, and I'd like to keep my senior dog young forever! T.T, nothings impossible! Anyways, because she is a chihuahua, one mixed with wiener dog. I don't know if that makes a difference but maybe it does to prevent complications. No boast. She cries when my family and I leave for a vacay, I hear that she cries or even howls. Now, she crie...

Strip down a Website example, a.k.a. Reverse Engineering skill UNLOCKED

 🧠 How a Website Really Works — Broken Down Simply When you open a website like www.example.com , a lot goes on under the hood — but let’s strip it down to the core parts so you see exactly how it runs from top to bottom. 📍 Step 1: You Type a Website into Your Browser When you type a URL (like https://frizasecurity.com ) into your browser and hit Enter, the first thing that happens is: ✅ The browser needs to find the website's IP address. Think of the domain name (like frizasecurity.com ) as a contact name in your phone, and the IP address as the phone number. Your browser asks a DNS server (Domain Name System) to find the number behind that name. You type the name → Browser says: “What’s the IP address for this?” DNS responds: “Here it is: 123.456.789.10 .” 💡 DNS = like the internet’s phone book. 🔄 Step 2: Your Device Talks to the Server Now that your browser knows the IP address, it sends a request to the web server that hosts the site. Think of the...

Stitched 'X'

The doll lay down on the floor with its deep diamond aquatic eyes, placed on a pile of clothes as I folded them while sitting down. Something about it was deep, I thought. Until I heard someone or something step inside the room. Then I heard a mediocrely heavy door shut, thinking that it was on its own at the time without using context. The one who shut the door was a man that I knew who was doing his best to stand tall. In fact, maybe as the tallest in the room. As soon as I tried to greet him back into our home, my heart felt heavy. When I tried to open my mouth, even a peep... I felt something familiar as if my heart was about to ache. I couldn't speak, and my heart had started aching. Afraid, not wanting to tell my partner, I had remembered the promise I made to him. So I told him everything and when I did, my breath was shallow, and my heart was hurting again. Although, he looked down on me from his height when I stood up. He didn't want me to say a word to him like usual....
