Hi guys, just wanted to make sure you have been following the relevant FD
thread.

Google can be used to find malware executables, which Websense and HD have
showed.

There are some more uses for it, which can be helpful in a pen-test,
checking a site for executables for AUP violations or a compromised system
hosting malware.

The FD thread is the archives for July:

I wrote about this extensively, here:
