Anonymizing RFI Attacks Through Google

SecuriTeam Blogs » Anonymizing RFI Attacks Through Google

Noam Rathaus turns Googlebot into an attack proxy: publish a URL that combines a victim's remote-file-inclusion parameter with an attacker-hosted PHP shell, and Google's crawler fetches it, exploiting the third party on the attacker's behalf and leaving the crawler's address in the logs. Shown live via inurl:cmd.gif, and generalisable to any spider or as a covert channel.
