Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: C

Google Dorks are advanced search operators used to find specific information or vulnerabilities on the web. Directory listing vulnerabilities occur when a web server exposes the contents of a directory (e.g., file names, paths) due to misconfiguration. The operators intitle: and intext: are used to search for specific terms in the title or body of web pages, respectively, combined with site: to limit the search to a specific domain.

Option A ('intitle:'Index of' site:victim-app.com'): Correct, as intitle:'Index of' targets pages with 'Index of' in the title, a common indicator of directory listings, and site:victim-app.com restricts the search to that domain.

Option B ('intext:'Index of' site:victim-app.com'): Correct, as intext:'Index of' searches for 'Index of' within the page content, another reliable indicator of directory listings, combined with the domain restriction.

Option C ('Both A and B'): Correct, as both intitle: and intext: can effectively identify directory listings, making this the most comprehensive answer.

Option D ('None of the above'): Incorrect, as both A and B are valid Google Dorks for this purpose.

The correct answer is C, aligning with the CAP syllabus under 'Reconnaissance Techniques' and 'Google Dorking.'

I'm not entirely sure, but I think "intext:'Index of'" could also work. Maybe both options are valid?
