In the underground world on the Internet, there are also a lot of free security scans (scanner) such as Wikto Scanner but the "black" reputation of the "The Cult of the Dead Cow" 10 years before its launch. Back Orifice (*) helped Goolag become more popular.
" I don't think there's anything new, but it can make it easier to retrieve hacks from Google ," said Robert Hansen, CEO of Sectheory.com and blog founder Ha.ckers.org.
Just as Robert Hansen said. Goolag is not new, but its usage has become easier than previous error scanning tools. Not only hackers, but even people who aren't knowledgeable about hacking techniques can still use it. This is a signal worth worrying about security and website development.
