In my opinion A Google dork is an employee who unknowingly exposes sensitive corporate information on the Internet.As a passive attack method, Google dorking can return usernames and passwords, email lists, sensitive documents, personally identifiable financial information (PIFI) and website vulnerabilities.

Special google search operators
Before starting with google dorks, you need to have basic understanding of few special google search operators and also how it functions.
1. intitle: This will ask google to show pages that have the term in their html title.
2. inurl: Searches for specified term in the URL. For example: inurl:register.php
3. filetype: Searched for certain file type. Example: filetype:pdf will search for all the pdf files in the websites.
4. ext: It works similar to filetype. Example: ext:pdf finds pdf extension files.
5. intext: This will search content of the page. This works somewhat like plain google search
6. site: This limits the search to a specific site only. Example: site:abc@d.com will limit search to only abc@d.com.
7. Cache: This will show you cached version of any website. Example: cache: aa.com
8. ‘*’ : This works like a wildcard. Example: How to ‘*’sites, will show you all the results like “how to…” design/create/hack, etc… “sites”
Basic Formula of Dork
“inurl:.”domain”/”dorks” “
Here,
‘‘inurl’’ = input URL
“domain” = your desired domain ex. .gov
“dorks” = your dork of your choice

Everyone uses google but most of them don’t know to make use of google.
Google operators are very famous among hackers and they take full benefit of it.Sensitive information needed by hackers which are not easily retrieved through common search can be produced by the help of Google operators.
If a hacker wants to retrieve a pdf file of a particular site then he/she has to use the operator “Filetype” with the URL as well as the extension of the file.
