Locating Vulnerable Targets
Attackers can locate potential targets by focusing on strings presented in
a vulnerable application’s demonstration installation provided by the
software vendor.
Attackers can also download and optionally install a vulnerable product
to locate specific strings the application displays.
Regardless of how a string is obtained, it can easily be converted into a
Google query, drastically narrowing the time a defender has to secure a
site after a public vulnerability announcement.
