Dork It Out

Lab for Search Engine Dorking: Google, GitHub & Beyond

Scenario

hackingpath.com published things it shouldn't have, and a crawler indexed them: a stray test.php, an exposed RSA key, an admin login, and, worst of all, an .env config full of secrets. A broad search drowns you in noise; the right operators cut straight to the leak. Use the `google` command, then fetch the .env.

Objective

Craft a search dork precise enough to surface the exposed .env config, then retrieve it.
