• Information gathering
• Google Hacking Database
• Open webcams
• Exposed credentials
• OSINT

What it concludes

• Passive reconnaissance involves gathering information from publicly available sources without directly interacting with the target.
• Using Google search operators like site, inurl, intext, filetype, and intitle allows for targeted information gathering and exposure discovery.
• Unintended exposure of sensitive data like database credentials, config files, logs, and internal admin pages can be found through public search engines.
• Passive reconnaissance is legal, but crossing the line into active reconnaissance or exploiting discovered vulnerabilities without permission is illegal.
