ws_ftp.ini is a configuration file for a popular FTP client that stores usernames, (weakly) encoded passwords, sites and directories that the user can store for later reference. These should not be on the web!
That's some good stuff. Just copy/paste the text into your own WS FTP ini file and you're good as gold (assuming you're using the same version). Don't forget - even if they have taken the file offline, use the "cache:FULL_URL/wsftp.ini" to see the contents.
probably one of the best exploits I have seen in a long time, when I did it there were about 20 vulnerable computers, just recently there was 4 so I hope whitehats got to this before anyone else. really nice !!

This search brings up sites with "config.php" files. To skip the technical discussion, this configuration file contains both a username and a password for an SQL database. Most sites with forums run a PHP message base. This file gives you the keys to that forum, including FULL ADMIN access to the database. To see view the PHP files; there in lies the catch. Browsers are made to process the commands of PHP before display, so if no commands, nothing to show. You can't use that persay to get into the config file, but it would show potential threats if someone got into server anyway. (If that happens you're basically boned anyway, not much around that.

Google is so smart, it’s scary sometimes. I has found another interesting (to say the least) Google use.
I just ran across a pretty scary new google trick. It seems they have just recently added number span searching to their engine. Take a look at this example:
To see results; just write in the (http://www.google.com/) search engine the code:
visa 4356000000000000..4356999999999999
Basically, what this search does is search for the word “visa” [credit card] with any numbers that fit within your query. i.e. any Visa credit card number with the first four digits 4356.
As you can see, Google has searched the entire range against its DB. Within minutes I found some crazy sites like this one. Now please know that Google didn’t create this tool to be used like this. It’s actually quite handy when used correctly. Just an FYI for all of you.

At first glance, this search reveals even more examples of operating system users enabling the operating system default web server software. This is generally accepted to be a Bad Idea(TM) as mentioned in the previous example. However, the googleDork index on this particular category gets quite a boost from the fact that this particular screen should NEVER be seen by the general public. To quote the default index screen: "Any users attempting to connect to this site are currently receiving an 'Under Construction page'" THIS is not the 'Under Construction page.' I was only able to generate this screen while sitting at the console of the server.

Imagine that when you enter any web site, and you are surprised that when searching for any program in it you can not find it. By this fabulous trick, you can find the link for downloading any program in this site through any search engine.
For example, suppose you want to search for the program "Norton" in the web site www.download.com ; when you go to www.google.com and write the following code, you will be surprised that the "Google" search engine searches only in the site www.download.com. To do this:
Write in the address bar of the web browser this address: www.google.com.
When opening the web site; write in the search engine this code: "norton site: www.download.com", and press the button search or "ÃÈÍË".
As mentioned earlier: the code is easy, you just write in the place of the word "Norton"; any word you need to search for in the site followed in the code.
The code again is....
norton site:www.download.com
By the way, you can practice this code at any search engine.
Another trick is that you can force the search engine of the "Google" web site to search for a certain category like "Linux" topics. When you add any category after the Google link and write any thing in the search engine, you will surprised that the site searched for Linux only. For example, if you wrote the following code:
http://www.google.com/linux
As I mentioned in the code earlier, the site followed by the word "Linux". So the web site is forced for searching for the Linux topics only all over the internet.

"NetLife" Exclusive: Security hole found in "Gmail"
An Israeli hacker reveals: A security hole in "Gmail" allows the compromise of users' email boxes – without the need of a password Nitzan Weidenfeld, Nana NetLife Magazine.
So you’ve got a "Gmail" mail account? Or maybe you’ve just received an invitation? Well, we have some bad news for you: Your mail box is exposed. A major security hole in Google's mail service, allows full access to user accounts, without the need of a password.
"Everything could get publicly exposed – your received mails might be readable, as well as all of your sent mail, and furthermore – anyone could send and receive mail under your name", thus reveals Nir Goldshlagger, an Israeli hacker, on an exclusive interview with "Nana NetLife" Magazine. "Even more alarming", he explains, "is the fact that the hack itself is quite simple. All that is needed of the malicious hacker, beside knowledge of the specific technique, is quite basic computer knowledge, the victim's username – and that’s it, he's inside".
When approached, Google admitted to the security flaw. Google also assured us that this matter is being resolved, and that "the company will go to any length to protect its users".
The flaw which was discovered by Goldshlagger and was tested many times by Nana's editorial board had shown an alarming success rate. In order not to further jeopardize mail boxes' owners, we will only disclose that the process is based upon a security breach in the service's identity authentication. It allows the hacker to "snatch" the victims cookie file (a file planted in the victim's computer used to identify him) using a seemingly innocent link (which directs to Gmail's site itself). Once stolen, this cookie file allows the hacker to identify himself as the victim, without the need of a password. Even if the victim does change his password afterwards, it will be to no avail. "The system authenticates the hacker as the victim, using the stolen cookie file. Thus no password is involved in the authentication process. The victim can change his password as many times as he pleases, and it still won't stop the hacker from using his box", explains Goldshlagger.
Whether hackers have already used this method to compromise users' accounts is unclear at the moment.
Matters are several times worse when it comes to a service such as "Gmail". Besides the obvious blow to Google's seemingly spotless image, we're looking here at a major threat to anyone who has turned to "Gmail" as his major email box. "Because "Gmail" offers a gigabyte of storage, several times bigger than most other web based mail services, users hardly delete any old correspondence", says Goldshlagger. "The result is a huge amount of mail accumulating in the users' boxes, which frequently include bank notices, passwords, private documents and other files the user wanted to backup. Who ever takes a hold of this data, could literally take over the victim's life and identity".
"Ofer Elzam", a security expert for "Aladdin", who examined the security hole at "Nana's Netlife" request, explains: "This is a major threat, for the following reasons: First – the users have no way of protecting themselves. Second – it's quite easy to carry out, and third – it allows identity theft, which is nothing less than a serious danger to the victim".
"On the bright side", he adds, "its a good thing that this hole was found now, before the service was officially announced and offered to millions of users world-wide. I reckon it's just a matter of time before an automatic tool is made, which would allow even the less computer-savvy people to exploit this hack. The damage, needless to say, could be huge"
Is there a way, after all, to protect ourselves in the face of this danger? Elzam does not bear good news on the matter. "The only immediate solution that comes to mind is not using "Gmail" to store any messages or files that might be maliciously used. At least until Google attends to this problem".
I received a weird email last week and I forwarded it to the bug report. Guess that was the cookie link I talked about. I put it here:

Last Monday reported that a vulnerability in "GSuite". A local user can obtain the target user's "GMail" password.
It is reported that a local user with access to the target user's 'documents and settings\user name\Application Data\GSuite\' folder can view the 'settings.xml' file, which contains the target user's password in ASCII value encoded form. The password can be readily decoded.
Impact: A local user can obtain a target user's GMail password.
Solution: No solution was available at the time of this entry. The vendor plans to include a fix in the next release.
