Question

This hacking tool is the primary subject of research by the Diggity Project, run by Bishop Fox. This was the main tool an Iranian hacker used in 2013 to gain access to a small New York dam. Johnny Long, who is best known for his work with this tool, wrote a popular book titled [this tool] Hacking for Penetration Testers. In 2010, a community resource called the “[this tool] Hacking Database” was handed over to Offensive Security, and is now one of the four main sections of the exploit-db website alongside (-5[1])“Exploits”, “Papers”, and “Shellcodes”. People hacking with this tool use strings known as “dorks”, which use advanced operators like (*) “intitle”, “intext”, and “filetype”. (-5[1])This is by far the most popular tool that obeys a robots.txt file. In a namesake kind of “bombing”, Dan Savage used this tool (10[1]-5[1])to popularize the crass word “santorum”. For 10 points, name this most-visited website in the world. ■END■ (10[3])
