Google Hacking Diggity Project:
The Google Hacking Diggity Project is a research and development initiative dedicated to investigating the latest techniques that leverage search engines, such as Google and Bing, to quickly identify vulnerable systems and sensitive data in corporate networks. The project page contains downloads and links to our latest Google Hacking research and free security tools. Defensive strategies are also introduced, including innovative solutions that use Google Alerts to monitor your network and systems.

With the retirement of Google’s SOAP Search API on September 7, 2009, most of the security utilities available for Google Hacking cease to function, leaving the security industry with a need for new and innovative tools. GoogleDiggity is a new MS Windows command line utility designed to help fill that need. GoogleDiggity leverages the Google AJAX API, so it will not get you blocked by Google bot detection while scanning. Also, unlike other Google Hacking tools available, GoogleDiggity actually allows you to specify a Google Custom Search Engine (CSE) id to run Google Hacking vulnerability checks against a customized version of Google that will only return results tailored to your organization.
Google Hacking Diggity Project can be used for finger printing and other basic penetration testing steps and getting into organization data without hassel. In addition to another utility – BingDiggity, it forms a much bigger project – SeachDiggity. Searching via Google and Bing is now at your finger tips.
