FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
CULT OF THE DEAD COW CATCHES THE COMMIES PUBLISHING PORNOGRAPHY ON THEIR
WEBSERVERS
NOT SAFE FOR WORK: Chinese Government Web Servers Loaded With Kiddie Porn
Graphics, Sex Toys, And Good Old-Fashioned Pron. Western Government Web
Servers, No Pron But Plenty Of Holes.
Lubbock, TX - March 4th, 2008 - CULT OF THE DEAD COW (cDc), the world's most
attractive hacker group, announced today that it has discovered terabytes of
pornographic content on Chinese government Web servers. The sexually explicit
images were exposed with Goolag Scanner, a Web auditing tool that uses Google
search to reveal Web site vulnerabilities. Goolag Scanner was released on
February 20th by the cDc and has one hundred thousand downloads to date.
"This suggests two things," said cDc spokes-model Oxblood Ruffin. "One,
Adult content is out of control with Chinese Communist Party (CCP) middle-
management types; and, two, Web site security on government and military Web
servers in China is stronger than in the West. Because apart from loads of
dubious wanking material, we didn't find the same kind of vulnerabilities that
we discovered in the U.S., Canada, the U.K., and France just for starters. In
fact, we were so concerned about some of the holes we found in the U.S. that
we had our attorney forward some of this data to the Department of Homeland
Security."
HOW GOOLAG SCANNER WORKS
Goolag Scanner is an automated "Google hacking" application. Google hacking
is a form of Web site auditing that takes advantage of "dorks," or extended
search queries, that look for very specific kinds of data (credit card
information, mp3 files, passwords, IP configuration data, etc.). There are
approximately 1500 dorks in circulation. Goolag Scanner searches whatever it
is asked to search: a specific Web site, or a vast network. It will do
whatever it is asked to do. And then it will return the results.
WHY CULT OF THE DEAD COW WILL NOT PUBLISH WESTERN SECURITY HOLES
We ain't stupid. We have shared our findings with some security experts,
selected journalists and NGOs, and they've been corroborated. But that's it.
We have zero interest or motivation in providing a roadmap for bored
teenagers, criminals, or any government agencies.
WHY CULT OF THE DEAD COW WILL PUBLISH CHINESE GOVERNMENT DATA
We couldn't care less about these assholes. Any country that props up
dictators and practices genocide doesn't catch a break from us. China should
be grateful that we just found this bone-polishing material.
MAN WHO TYPES WITH ONE HAND, CAN THUMB MANUAL WITH OTHER
And now for the moment you've all been waiting for ... the naughty bits.
Following are five links selected at random from the ocean of crap we found on
Chinese government Web servers. We're sure that Hu Jintao would like to thank
Sergei and Larry for making all of this possible.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
SECURITY ADVISORY: The following program may screw a large Internet search
engine and make the Web a safer place.
LUBBOCK, TX, February 20th -- Today CULT OF THE DEAD COW (cDc), the world's
most attractive hacker group, announced the release of Goolag Scanner, a web
auditing tool. Goolag Scanner enables everyone to audit his or her own web
site via Google. The scanner technology is based on "Google hacking," a form
of vulnerability research developed by Johnny I Hack Stuff. He's a lovely
fellow. Go buy him a drink.
"It's no big secret that the Web is the platform," said cDc spokesmodel
Oxblood Ruffin. "And this platform pretty much sucks from a security
perspective. Goolag Scanner provides one more tool for web site owners to
patch up their online properties. We've seen some pretty scary holes through
random tests with the scanner in North America, Europe, and the Middle East.
If I were a government, a large corporation, or anyone with a large web site,
I'd be downloading this beast and aiming it at my site yesterday. The v
ulnerabilities are that serious."
Goolag Scanner will be released open source under the GNU Affero General
Public license. It is dedicated to the memory of Wau Holland, founder of the
Chaos Computer Club, and a true champion of privacy rights and social justice.
GOOLAG SCANNER FUNCTIONS AND FEATURES
Goolag Scanner is a standalone windows GUI based application. It uses one
xml-based configuration file for its settings. All dorks coming with the
distribution of gS are kept inside one file.
