What does GHDB stand for?

• A. Google Hacking Database
• B. Google Hacking Data Bank
• C. Google Hacking Directory
• D. Google Hack Database

Answer: (A)

GHDB stands for Google Hacking Database. It’s a curated collection of Google search queries, known as Google dorks, that help identify sensitive information exposed on the web. Understanding GHDB shows how attackers can leverage advanced search operators to locate misconfigurations, exposed files, credentials, and other data, which is why it’s a valuable resource for both offensive testing and defensive auditing. The other phrasings don’t match the standard term used in CEH materials, so the established name is Google Hacking Database.
