Google Hacks - The Program
2007-10-03

More crazy Google Hacking!

In a rather bizarre twist of events, Google is hosting a tool created for "Hacking Google"

This weird little application, hosted on code.google.com is described as the following:

Google Hacks is a compilation of carefully crafted Google searches that expose novel functionality from Google's search and map services. For example, you can use it to view a timeline of your search results, view a map, search for music, search for books, and perform many other specific kinds of searches. You can also use this program to use google as a proxy.

It's a neat (if somewhat halfbaked) little tool that lets you try out a bunch of the more popular google hacks out there. The proxy option doesn't work at all....trust me. But otherwise, it's worth a spin!

Check it out:

I tried the tool, but it gives me this error:

 

We're sorry...

... but your query looks similar to automated requests from a computer virus or spyware application. To protect our users, we can't process your request right now.

We'll restore your access as quickly as possible, so try again soon. In the meantime, if you suspect that your computer or network has been infected, you might want to run a virus checker or spyware remover to make sure that your systems are free of viruses and other spurious software.

We apologize for the inconvenience, and hope we'll see you again on Google.

Benny,

 

Are you accessing google through tor or other public proxy? Because often its not the search string you use but its the IP you are accessing from.

I have only ever had that message popup when accessing google through tor
