Hi everyone, and welcome to a short Olson FTP,
search demonstration. I believe that you
are familiar with the file transfer protocol, but
if not, basically the file transfer protocol or
FTP is designed to transfer computer files between
a client and a server on a computer network. In
our context. We will search for open publicly available
FTP files. These servers are
Are and should be secured with access credentials,
but this is rarely the case because
simply it is overlooked to
conduct this search has my suggestion is doing the manual method
with searching Google for FTP information.
Okay. Once again, here we are on our private
browser and I will go to google.com.
A custom search string will be required in
order to filter unwanted information. If
I were searching for any files, including the term
password in the title, I would use
this query in Ural.
That's inurl column.
FTP.
Which stands for search any files from
FTP servers then space?
Hyphen or-.
In url.
Column.
Parentheses.
Paige TTP.
Pipe http.
Close parenthesis, which stands exclude any
web pages with HTTP and https, then
space and the word.
Password put in quotations. Now
to repeat the whole query in url column
FTP. Space hyphen
in url column
parentheses HTTP, pipe
HTTP, close
parentheses space and the
word password, put in quotation marks.
Enter.
As you can see, we got something over 120,000
results and
that is a lot. You can also add
other operators for an example. Let's add the
file type. Operator to make it more interesting and
choose PDFs as the file type. So
to repeat the whole query again in
url column FTP.
Space hyphen in
url, column parentheses
HTTP, pipe
HTTP, and parentheses space.
The word password in quotation marks space
file type.
Column, PDF and enter.
And now our results are something better, but
I believe you get the general idea
how useful these FTP search can be. There
are websites that offer this kind of search services and
I would like to mention a couple of them actually, two of
them.
The first one is search. Ftps dot-org
with a cool name.
And I will show it right now.
And that's the Napalm FTP indexer.
Does the cool name? I was mentioning and the second one is.
Located on mmnt dot.
Are you?
Which is a Russian FTP server that allows you to isolate search
results by country, that is hosting the
content, which can get very useful. Of
course, you can use the English version at the top.
And my dear friends that is it concerning search
engines in the authentic context and now we
will move on to the social media intelligence resources. So
see you in the next section and in
the next video for that matter by
