The Cover of Night: Projects and Research

Netmories and Internet Information

February 25th, 2009 by apridgen

So, Monday I went to the bi-monthly HTA meeting, and I was talking to bitmonk, and we got on the topic of privacy and search engines. He said that he was listening to the radio one day and they mention 123people.com among some others. I went to the web site plugged in some information, and bam there it was plainer than day. Being a geek or nerd, I don’t have very much incriminating dirt on myself, but it was still very surreal to see all my information on there. My next thought was how do I crawl the site to look for interesting information on friends, which led to a subsequent thought about a Facebook plug-in. The plug-in would crawl all my friends, friends of friends … looking for interesting information in sites like 123people.com. I think that would be an awesome tool for building up a list of social engineering targets for performing social engineering engagements. Just a thought.

Other than that it was good to walk down memory lane in some odd respect.
