go-dork is an open source command-line tool designed to automate search engine dorking and reconnaissance tasks. Written in the Go programming language, it focuses on speed and efficiency when executing advanced search queries across multiple search engines. It allows users to run specialized queries, often referred to as “dorks,” to discover publicly exposed data, misconfigurations, or potentially vulnerable resources. It supports several major search engines and enables users to switch between them depending on the target or query requirements. go-dork can retrieve results from multiple pages of search results and process them sequentially for broader coverage during scans. go-dork also supports custom HTTP headers and proxy configuration, which can help users work around restrictions such as captchas or filtering mechanisms. Because it is a command-line tool, it can be integrated into automation pipelines or chained with other security tools to streamline reconnaissance workflows.
