NOT TO BE USED AS A TRAINING AID BY ANY COMPANY OTHER THAN BENTAC AND TRACETOOLS.
Guys, we all use Google, as its the most powerful. But it can only see about 10-14% of the internet so you need to see more. Google is great and youve got to use it, but not on its own!
When youre buying something on the net, you dont just look at one site do you? so dont to it with data either!
STEP AWAY FROM GOOGLE
Google is great for cheap flights or holidays, but we are not looking for normal stuff . Google isnot the solution for searching the internet for OSINT stuff. Its still a very valuable tool, but not the best. Some of the tools below work in different ways so you get other results . Remember , Google isnt good with PDF and pages within sites. so you need to do several searches .
Its also a victim of its own success. It returns EVERY piece of data it thinks is relevant to you. So you get millions of pages. But we dont look past page 3 do we?.............
We need to refine our search peramiters so we get back a manageable and reasonable number of results. We get too much flotsam and jetsam which hides what we really want. Try some others. You wont be dissapointed.
