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:
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
I’m not using TOR or a public proxy. Google works fine from this ip.
