Using Google Alert to track script injections in Belgian webpages



In a earlier post "Asprox bot (re-)visiting Belgium with sql injections", I mentioned I wanted to use Google Alerts to track Asprox injected pages in Belgium. You could easily do this by using the following search parameters:

"script src=http://*/""ngg.js"|"js.js"|"b.js" site:BE
However I hit a small problem, all the saved alerts got "&lr=lang_en" appended and this excluded non-english pages. I couldn't find any way to change this. But my fellow blogger miekiemoes came to the rescue. Before adding an alert in Google, you have to set the interface language in the URL.

So use http://www.google.com/alerts/manage?hl=nl&gl= (for Dutch). After saving the alert, it will work perfectly for the language you specified. Kudos for her help!!!
