Google Hacks helps you find what you're looking for

But who has the time to memorize all the search modifiers like "-inurl:(htm|html|php) intitle:"index of" +"last modified" +"parent directory" +description +size +(.mp3|.wma|.ogg) ?"

It's not a new thing that you can find many secret stuff with google search. With smart query strings you can search almost anything. I've made a special website for it.
Have a look at SearchHacker

Or it's sister site to find unprotected live webcams.

Hi, I made this kind of application on my blog, only with javascript. You don't have to download anything.
