ChatGPT has an endless list of possible applications to assist investigations, which results in a hugely effective staff member to your team with an IQ of 140 (think genius level).
An Ethical Dilemma…or fussing over nothing?
Before you start using ChatGPT, consider the ethical implications and limitations. ChatGPT uses its training data, which means it may not be able to get outside its current data set. Although, that is still pretty much many times more information than any human in history has been able to learn.
Now, imagine combining the power of Google Dorking with the advanced capabilities of ChatGPT, a language model that can understand natural language and generate human-like text; this is the key to revolutionizing OSINT with ChatGPT-powered people searching. In this article, we will explore the capabilities of ChatGPT, provide examples of how it can be used to gather information about individuals, and discuss the limitations and ethical considerations when using ChatGPT for people searching.
Now, imagine combining the power of Google Dorking with the advanced capabilities of ChatGPT, a language model that can understand natural language and generate human-like text. The possibilities for people searching become endless.
How can you use ChatGPT and Google Dorking together?
Google Dorking, also known as Google Hacking, is a technique used by investigators in OSINT (Open-Source Intelligence) investigations to find specific information on the internet using advanced search operators. This technique allows investigators to search the web more efficiently and effectively by searching specific parts of a website or narrowing search results to a specific file type.
- Use Google Dorking to search for specific information online, such as files containing personal information or social media profiles.
- Start by using a Google Dork such as “site:linkedin.com intitle:resume” to search for resumes on LinkedIn.
- Use ChatGPT to analyze the results and extract relevant information.
- For example, use ChatGPT to extract the name, contact information, and work experience from the resumes.
- Use the extracted information to continue your investigation and gather more information on the individual.
- Use the contact information to search for the individual’s social media profiles or other online presence.
When using this combination, it’s important to keep in mind the following best practices and tips:
- Always make sure you comply with all laws and regulations when using Google Dorking and ChatGPT for people searching.
- Be aware of the limitations of ChatGPT and Google Dorking, and verify the information you gather.
- Continuously update your search queries as new information may become available.
ChatGPT + Google Dorking = maximum output
Efficiency is key when it comes to people searching. Time is of the essence, and every second counts when trying to find relevant information on an individual. Here are some examples, including exactly what you need to instruct ChatGPT to do to speed up your investigation:
- Identifying and tracking online identities and personas:
- “Please provide a list of all known aliases and social media accounts associated with the individual named [insert name]”
- Extracting and analyzing data from social media platforms:
- “Please extract all posts and comments made by the individual named [insert name] on the social media platform [insert platform]”
- Generating leads and connections between individuals and organizations:
- “Please find connections between individuals and organizations based on their online presence and interactions, and list them”
- Identifying and analyzing patterns and trends in online behavior:
- “Please analyze the dataset of social media posts and identify patterns and trends in language and behavior of [insert group]”
- Automating the process of data collection and analysis:
- “Please create a script that automatically collects and analyzes data from [insert source]”
- Extracting data from unstructured sources such as forums, blogs, and news articles:
- “Please extract relevant information from unstructured text sources such as forums and news articles on [insert topic]”
- Scraping and analyzing public data from websites and databases:
- “Please scrape and analyze data from [insert website/database] and list the findings”
- Identifying and tracking disinformation campaigns:
- “analyze the dataset of social media posts and identify patterns in language and behavior, detect potential disinformation campaigns on [insert topic].”
Dorking around?
Do you Dork around on Google, fishing for crawled data on your target? Your life has suddenly become much easier. Now you can ask ChatGPT to create entirely new Dork queries or help you improve your current ones. Try these out for size, the top 25 most common Dorks used in Google, according to the AI:
Vulnerability Dorking:
- Vulnerability “inurl:index.php?id=” – This dork can find sites with a custom value in the URL, which may show that the website is vulnerable to SQL injection.
E-commerce Platform Dorking:
- E-commerce Platform “inurl:buy.php?category=” – This dork can find sites that have a value for filtering items by category, which may show that the website is using an e-commerce platform.
- “inurl:category.php?id=” – This dork can find sites that have a value for filtering items by category, which may show that the website is using an e-commerce platform.
- “inurl:product.php?id=” – This dork can find sites with a dynamic value in the URL, which may show that the website is using an e-commerce platform.
- “inurl:view_item.php?id=” – This dork can find sites with a dynamic value in the URL, which may show that the website is using an e-commerce platform.
- “inurl:viewproduct.php?id=” – This dork can find sites with a dynamic value in the URL, which may show that the website is using an e-commerce platform.
Content Management Systems Dorking:
- “inurl:article.php?id=”
- Finds sites with a dynamic value in the URL, which may show that the website uses a content management system.

One of these advanced techniques is using natural language processing (NLP) with ChatGPT.
What exactly is Natural Language processing?
NLP allows ChatGPT to understand and extract meaning from text data, making it even more accurate and efficient in extracting relevant information. For example, you can use ChatGPT to aid in creating social media posts, emails, or chat logs.
Natural Language Processing (NLP) is a field of artificial intelligence that deals with understanding and create human language. It involves using computer algorithms to analyze, understand, and create human language in both speech and text. NLP is used in various applications, such as language translation, text-to-speech, sentiment analysis, and more.
ChatGPT is a form of NLP known as Language Generation. It uses a deep learning algorithm known as a transformer to generate human-like text based on the input it receives. Essentially, it’s a sophisticated “parrot” that can understand and respond to your questions and prompts. But unlike a real parrot, it doesn’t just repeat what you say; it understands and responds in a way that makes sense. Just don’t ask her (we think it is a her) to do a stand-up comedy routine; she’s not that advanced (yet!).
Another advanced technique is using advanced search queries with Google Dorking. You can use specific search operators to find specific types of information, such as searching for particular file types or searching for information within specific websites or platforms. For example, you can use the search operator “filetype:pdf” to search for PDF files containing personal information.
OSINT investigations are made better by ChatGPT
It’s essential to keep in mind the importance of verifying information found through ChatGPT and Google Dorking; always make sure to comply with all laws and regulations and verify the information you gather. Also, staying current with updates and advancements in these tools can help you stay ahead of the game and continue to find relevant information effectively.
ChatGPT is an incredibly powerful tool for people searching for OSINT investigations. It can automate repetitive tasks, such as analyzing and extracting information from large amounts of text data and handle large amounts of data from various sources. This allows investigators to focus on what really matters so as to verify the information properly.
Using ChatGPT in conjunction with other OSINT tools and techniques, investigators can gain a more complete and accurate understanding of their target.
