Google is in many ways the most useful tool available to the bad guys, and the most dangerous Web site on the Internet for many, many thousands of individuals and organizations.

Googling Up Passwords (and P2P networks) 2004-03-10

Hi,

This issue is also present in P2P networks. You only have to search for known files (htpasswd, pwd...) and you will get interesting results. People wants more download rate and share _all_ their hard disk.

The problem here is to match the downloaded file with the server's ip address. No problem, just use a network monitoring app (i.e. look for tcp flows).

Regards
JD, Valencia (Spain)
