google hacking you
Report from the RSA conference on finding all sorts of stuff you're not supposed to see. It can be automated too.
For instance,
Seach for a robots.txt file to find out what a webmaster doesn't want you to 'see'(well doesn't want the search engines to see), then look at them robots.txt and site:domain.com for this
or you may need a social security number
This also works well on P2P services, since many people will share their entire My Documents folder, and you can see their resume, PDFs of their tax returns in addition to their holiday snaps.
