I can't take credit for this (saw it on a mailing list) but it's interesting in that it's using Google to take advantage of in a common implementation flaw in a Google designed file format which is now seeing wide use.

"There are a LOT of automagic-generation Sitemap scripts out there which create Sitemap.xml files not by spidering a site, as they should… but by reading the contents of directories inside the web root from the local filesystem and creating the Sitemap.xml file from that."
I was able to use it to enumerate the contents of "protected" admin areas on a number of well known sites. Cool stuff.
Results 1 - 10 of about 1,200 for "admin" inurl:sitemap filetype:xml
Sitemap queries return a lot of files which, despite being in the sitemap file, are not indexed by Google who apparently makes no promise to index it's contents. (so what good is it other than for googledorking...?)
