Google Dork Generator

A small Chrome/Firefox extension that helps generate Google "dork" search queries for security research and information gathering against a target domain.

What it is

This extension provides a tiny popup UI where you enter a domain (for example example.com) and it generates a list of Google search queries (dorks). Each dork is rendered as a link that opens a Google search in a new tab.

Use this tool for legitimate security testing, reconnaissance with permission, or defensive research only. See the Ethics section below.

Files in this repo

• manifest.json — extension manifest (Manifest V3).
• popup.html — popup UI markup.
• popup.css — popup styles.
• popup.js — main popup script that generates the dork queries and saves the last-entered domain to local storage.
• icon16.png, icon48.png, icon128.png — extension icons.

Features

• Quick generation of common Google search patterns (login pages, backup files, API endpoints, config files, etc.).
• Saves the last-entered domain using extension local storage.
• Opens each generated query in a new Google search tab.

Installation (load unpacked)

1. Open Chrome (or Chromium-based browser) and go to chrome://extensions (or in Firefox go to about:debugging#/runtime/this-firefox).
2. Enable Developer Mode (Chrome) or click "Load Temporary Add-on" (Firefox).
3. Click "Load unpacked" and select this project folder (the directory containing manifest.json).
4. The extension icon will appear in the toolbar; click it to open the popup.

Usage

1. Click the extension icon to open the popup.
2. Enter a domain like example.com in the input field.
3. Press Enter or click "Generate Links".
4. Click any generated link to open a Google search for that dork in a new tab.

Note: The extension only constructs Google search URLs and opens them in your browser — it does not query Google itself on the background beyond what your browser does when you click links.

Development

• The main logic is in popup.js. To change dorks or add/remove patterns, edit the dorks array inside that file.
• After editing, reload the unpacked extension in the browser to pick up changes.

Permissions

The extension requests only the following permission in manifest.json:

• storage — used to save and restore the last domain entered in the popup.

No network or host permissions are requested. The extension relies on the browser to open Google search URLs when links are clicked.

Ethics & Responsible Use

This tool is intended for defensive and educational tasks such as asset discovery, security research with authorization, or incident response. Misuse of Google dorks to access, expose, or exploit private systems, data, or accounts without explicit permission is illegal and unethical.

Before using this tool against any domain or infrastructure, ensure you have explicit permission from the owner and follow applicable laws and policies.

Contribution

Contributions are welcome. If you change patterns, consider:

• Keeping queries focused on defensive discovery and avoid adding patterns that encourage exploitation.
• Adding tests or example domains to demonstrate benign use-cases.

If you'd like, I can also add a small contributing guide, a license file, or clean up / normalize some dork patterns in popup.js.
