Google Code Search peers into programs' flaws

October 14, 2006

By Robert Lemos, SecurityFocus

Security professionals warned developers on Thursday that they need to be aware that their open-source repositories can now be easily mined, allowing attackers to target programs that are likely to be flawed. While Google could previously be used to look for specific strings, now the search engine riffles through code that much better.

"This is like giving everyone a telescope," Wysopal said. "It is making them more efficient. Lets just hope that they are using this for good."
