Google helps finding malicious executables
Research from Websense Security Labs has found that thousands of pieces of malicious binaries are available on the web. Websense searched Google with Google’s own application programming interface to find malicious executables indexed by the search engine.
A Google query for ‘Signature: 00004550′ results in numerous links to executable files. The reason this search works is because when Google indexes the executable file, it passes the PE file format of the windows executable.
