Hello everyone! Due to a highly requested writeup from the Angie Tech Cafe (ATC) Community, I will walk through the Miscellaneous category question: the Icy "Doodle" site. This question was solved using a Google Dorking technique.

"Google Dorking, penetration testing," or related terms refer to authorized security assessments conducted to identify vulnerabilities and improve security rather than for malicious purposes.

Icy "Doodle" Site

A website at https://atcwintervibesctf.com/ has been referenced by other pages across the Internet. Find all the pages that reference this website. It rhymes with Doodle.

First, break down the last sentence — "It rhymes with Doodle". Google rhymes with Doodle. Knowing that a Google method is involved, I can use Google Dorking.

Next, I will explore several Google Dorking options related to the question. The question states that referencing other pages involves linking to a specific page. In this context, I will utilize the Google search filter: link:url. The syntax is as follows:

link:url
  • The flag is atcctf_link:https://atcwintervibesctf.com
  • Alternatively, in the real world, cybersecurity professionals can use other search filters, such as inurl:.

This challenge is all about flexing those critical thinking skills that can really help aspiring cybersecurity professionals on their career journey! We're putting CTF players to the test with Google Dorking — such a fun and useful method in cybersecurity. Have you participated in any CTFs before? Last year, I published a Google Dorking CTF writeup here. Can't wait to see you in the next post!
