Goolag Scanner, a webauditing tool

LUBBOCK, TX, February 20th -- Today CULT OF THE DEAD COW (cDc), the world'smost attractive hacker group, announced the release of Goolag Scanner, a webauditing tool. Goolag Scanner enables everyone to audit his or her own website via Google. The scanner technology is based on "Google hacking," a formof vulnerability research developed by Johnny I Hack Stuff. He's a lovelyfellow. Go buy him a drink.

"It's no big secret that the Web is the platform," said cDc spokesmodelOxblood Ruffin. "And this platform pretty much sucks from a securityperspective. Goolag Scanner provides one more tool for web site owners topatch up their online properties. We've seen some pretty scary holes throughrandom tests with the scanner in North America, Europe, and the Middle East.If I were a government, a large corporation, or anyone with a large web site,I'd be downloading this beast and aiming it at my site yesterday. The vulnerabilities are that serious."

Goolag Scanner will be released open source under the GNU Affero GeneralPublic license. It is dedicated to the memory of Wau Holland, founder of theChaos Computer Club, and a true champion of privacy rights and social justice.
