Star Kashman (born 1998) is an American law student with an expertise in Cybersecurity law. She has conducted some of the first legal research into the legalities and dangers of Search Engine Hacking (a/k/a "Google Hacking" and has published one of the first findings on the matter in the Washington Journal of Law, Technology & Arts. Her publication entitled "Google Dorking or Legal Hacking: From The CIA Compromise to Your Cameras at Home, We Are Not as Safe as We Think" was the first-of-it's-kind examination of the intersection of Google Dorking and the law. This article discusses the legalities and issues of an underestimated and overlooked computer crime technique utilized by hackers and cybercriminals. Her other publication entitled "Search Engine Hacking Needs A Legislative Fix" called for reform of the issues noted in the legal scholarly journal article as well. Ms. Kashman has recently presented her ideas in the New York County Lawyers Association CLE Program event entitled "You Can Run But No Longer Hide: Cybersecurity - What Lawyers MUST DO to Protect Their Clients, Firm (Skills and Ethics). Star Kashman became motivated to lead a group of students at the Brooklyn Law School Incubator & Policy Clinic (BLIP) to raise awareness about lesser-known techniques utilized to commit cybercrime. With her group, Star hosted the first-of-it's-kind "Go Dork Yourself" event where the law school was able to raise awareness and demonstrate the issues surrounding Star's research on Google Dorking. == Early life and education ==Kashman attended school in Roslyn, New York, and later on in Binghamton, New York. Her passion for technology along with her desire to utilize her education to help others led to her research in the field of Cybersecurity law. Upon conducting this research, she discovered a lack in knowledge and legislation surrounding a widely-used technique called Search Engine Hacking (A/k/a “Google Dorking”). Kashman told the Roslyn News, “After extensive research, my publication in the journal became the first of its kind to address where Search Engine Hacking fits within the law. I am now working with a group of students at Brooklyn Law School to advocate for policy change regarding this vital topic, making our group the first to advocate for legal reform and knowledge relating to this issue.”== Career ==Star has begun her work within the Cybersecurity Law community while she was still a student at Brooklyn Law School. The next steps in her career will likely align with her mission to educate and protect the public through the use of law and technology. === Google Dorking Or Legal Hacking: From The CIA Compromise to Your Cameras at Home, We Are Not as Safe as We Think ===Main article: [1]"Google Dorking or Legal Hacking: From The CIA Compromise to Your Cameras at Home, We Are Not as Safe as We Think"Kashman's article ""Google Dorking or Legal Hacking: From The CIA Compromise to Your Cameras at Home, We Are Not as Safe as We Think"" was published by the Washington Journal in 2023. This paper begins by explaining the differences between a normal search and an advanced search (Google Dork). She states that although this technique can be used for legitimate purposes such as research, it can also be used to commit criminal acts including cyberterrorism, industrial espionage, identity theft and stalking. Kashman then dives into the history of Google Dorking beginning with Johnny Long. The article then begins to discuss the legalities of Google Dorking, by stating that it is not technically covered under the CFAA, although it is often prosecuted under that law. Stating that it is currently "legal" despite the confusion of how the court system views accessing publicly available information. The article describes a number of previously misdiagnosed infamous cases in connection with "Google Dorking", including the CIA Compromise, the hack of the Bowman Avenue Dam, Supreme Court Doxing, sextortion of Miss Teen USA Cassidy Wolf, and the homicide of Esther Salas' son. The end of the article calls for reform within federal "Anti-Hacking" Law, stating that the law must evolve alongside technological evolution. === Go Dork Yourself ===Star Kashman led a team of students at the Brooklyn Law School Incubator & Policy Clinic to host the first ever event to address the dangers and legalities of Search Engine Hacking. This groundbreaking event left the crowd stunned by the dangers unveiled throughout the presentation. The highlight of the event was the ethical hacker demonstration led by Owlsec Founders Jimi Flynn and Kevin Roberts, who visually exposed how easy it is to obtain passwords, confidential files, and access to webcams online. Attendees were shocked to see how this simple technique can be used to peer into children's bedrooms and speak to them, compromise the CIA, hack into civil infrastructure, and commit cybercrime. On the panel, victims’ rights attorney Carrie Goldberg, Founder/Director of BLIP Professor Jonathan Askin, cybersecurity law expert Professor Mark Rosen, and Owlsec Founders Jimi Flynn and Kevin Roberts spoke alongside Star Kashman to discuss where this issue fits within the law, and what should be done about it moving forward. The event was a wake-up call for the public, who now understand the importance of protecting sensitive and private data online. Participants even got the chance to "Dork themselves" to find out if any private or sensitive information was found online about themselves.
