DorkTerm: A Simple Tool That Makes Websites Safer

What If You Could Check Your Website's Safety in Seconds?

Imagine you have a house. You'd want to make sure all the doors and windows are locked, right? Websites are the same—they need to be checked for "unlocked doors" that hackers might find. But checking everything manually takes forever.

That's where DorkTerm comes in—it's like a security guard for websites that works super fast.

Think of It Like This:

You know how Google can find anything on the internet? DorkTerm uses Google in a special way to look for things on your website that shouldn't be visible to everyone.

For example:

• Accidentally shared passwords (like leaving your house key under the doormat)
• Private admin pages that should be hidden (like a secret room that's not so secret)
• Backup files that contain sensitive information (like leaving your diary on the front porch)

Here's How Simple It Is:

1. Go to the DorkTerm website (it works right in your web browser)
2. Type your website address (like "mywebsite.com")
3. Click one button

That's it! DorkTerm then opens 15 different Google searches in separate tabs, each looking for a different type of security problem.

Why Normal People Should Care:

You don't need to be a tech expert to understand why this matters:

• For small business owners: Make sure your customer data isn't accidentally visible online
• For bloggers: Check that your website isn't showing private information
• For anyone with a website: Sleep better knowing you've checked for obvious security issues

What It Looks For (In Plain English):

• Login pages that might be poorly protected
• Files containing passwords
• Error messages that reveal too much information
• Backup copies of your website
• Private files that shouldn't be public

The Best Part: It's Free and Easy

No downloads. No complicated setup. No technical knowledge needed. You use it right in your web browser, and it does the complicated searching for you.

Important Safety Note:

DorkTerm is a tool for good people to check their own websites. Just like you'd only check the locks on your own house, you should only use this on websites you own or have permission to check.

How to Try It Yourself:

1. Go to: https://yogsec.github.io/DorkTerm/
2. Type a website address you own (or have permission to test)
3. Click "Run"
4. Look through the search results that pop up

If you find anything concerning, you can tell your web developer or hosting company to fix it.
