vulnerable versions of phpBB in order to deface them. For

Since you can search for a text string in just the URLs of Google's index,
many content management systems used on public web sites and hardware 
(such as printers) with embedded web servers can be identified.

An example of this : if you Google for URLs containing 
the text "ViewerFrame?Mode=", the results obtained are urls to a particular 
brand of installed security cameras allowing any web
visitor to pan and zoom around the camera surroundings since many of them were 
not password protected."
