Advanced File Finder

Build Google dork queries for movies, PDFs, music, ebooks, code, configs, databases, and more.

Source code and config searches

Developers and security researchers use dorks to find publicly indexed code snippets, configuration files, and SQL dumps. Always stay within authorized scope — never exploit exposed credentials.

Example dork queries

  • filetype:js "React component" site:github.com
  • filetype:py "tutorial" site:github.com
  • filetype:php "database connection"
  • filetype:sql "password" (security research on your own assets only)
  • filetype:env OR filetype:config site:yourdomain.com
  • inurl:admin filetype:php

Finding repositories

Combine site:github.com with filetype operators or use Google's standard GitHub search for repos. Our tool's Source Code category generates OR'd filetype clauses for JS, Python, PHP, and more.

Ethics for security research

If you discover exposed secrets on someone else's server, report them responsibly — do not download or use the data. Unauthorized access violates computer crime laws regardless of how you found the URL.
