It is not really about wether or not it is known as technique perse, but 
as used into a worm (can you call it a worm?). A program wich adopts the 
results of a Google query and takes actions upon it by exploiting the 
vulnerabilities found.
Off course, people on this list know about Google as a tool for finding 
URLs with dubious locations (like somebodies admin folder). But using a 
tool for doing that and reducing the "target by the numbers" mentality 
is very new to me at least.
But from the reactions of some people I can conclude that no tool is yet 
implemented on this kind of theory?
Kind regards,
