Using Google Image to find malware

Hacking with Google is fun, and it is more entertaining when you can hunt down malware with the Google Search Engine. Google has multiple methods available to find content, you can use Google Dorks or you can create Google Alerts but you can also use the Google Image search option to find malware on the internet, all you need is a image that Google can use to identify the same image on other websites that are serving the malware.

Take a look at the code
If you take a look at the source code you will see that the malware is using pictures. We grab one of those pictures.
