When you index the entire internet, you can do some really sexy things.
Google relaunched its malware finding search engine, AntiMalvertising.com. In classic google manner, you can pass it a target website or domain via the url (ala http://www.google.com/safebrowsing/diagnostic?site=google.com) and get some interesting results. In this example, you’ll see that google has indeed been a vector, and its’ nice to see that they’re not filtering out their own results. Honesty’s the best policy.
There’s also a nice Google API interface. If you have a little spare time and want to see the size, scope and intensity of malware infected sites, you can use the SafeBrowsing site and search for patterns like
“Malicious software is hosted on”
or
“Yes, this site has hosted malicious software”
Because it’s all built on the google search engine, you can do nifty search modifiers too, like this query:
“Yes, this site has hosted malicious software” inurl:site=*.com
Of course, I find it suspicious that
“Yes, this site has hosted malicious software” inurl:site=*.gov
doesn’t return any .gov sites in the USA, especially considering that I know there are dozens of them. Maybe this is a safety filter that google built in to protect our national critical infrastructure?
