DorkGPT
Key Applications
- Open-source research and investigation (finding public documents, reports, or media).
- Security & privacy assessments (discovery of exposed assets when used with authorization).
- SEO & competitive research (locating indexed resources, specific file types, or site subpages).
- Journalistic research (uncovering hard-to-find public files and archives).
Who It’s For
DorkGPT is intended for OSINT practitioners, security analysts (red/blue teams and auditors with permission), researchers, journalists, and SEO professionals who need to craft targeted search queries quickly. It solves the pain of manually composing complex search operators and accelerates discovery of relevant public data. Important: it is not a hacking toolkit—responsible use requires legal and ethical constraints, and the primary user persona is a researcher or security professional who understands consent, scope, and data-handling rules.

How It Compares
- Versus manual Google dorking: Faster and less error-prone—automates operator selection and phrasing.
- Versus DorkSearch and similar builders: Similar outcomes but DorkGPT places emphasis on natural-language prompts and AI-driven variants.
- Versus penetration-testing frameworks: Complements pentest tools for reconnaissance but does not replace full security testing suites or authorized scanners.
Bullet Point Features
- Natural-language → Google dork conversion (one-line prompts to complex queries)
- Multiple dork variants and example search strings per prompt
- Explanations of each operator and suggestion for safer scope settings
- Preset templates for common tasks (file discovery, exposed login pages, site-specific searches)
- Browser-based, no install required; some integrations or community templates available
