I feel like "inurl" might be related, but it doesn't specifically filter for file types, right?

I remember practicing with Google dorks, and "filetype" definitely came up a lot for filtering results by extensions.

I think the operator we need is "filetype," but I'm not 100% sure if it only shows file extensions.

A - filetype is definitely the way to go. That will let me find all the relevant files on the target website without getting a bunch of irrelevant results.

I'm a bit confused by this question. I know Google dorks can be powerful, but I'm not sure which operator would be best for this specific task. I'll have to review my notes and try to figure it out.

The filetype operator sounds like the right choice here. That will let me narrow down the search results to only show files with the extensions I'm interested in.
