Hey,

Is there any tool out there to check if a site have a specific plugins installed?

Like lets say I want to check if Site1.com have the "Get Recents comments" plugins installed.

Thanks!
 
I hope not......:D

On the majority of my blogs I have plugs that are that blackhat that just a spark of daylight would ruin them....
 
yes you can, If the owner of the blog is numb (and almost everyone is) you can write on your browser http://nameofthevictimsite.tld/wp-content/plugins/default-folder-name-of-plugin

or

http://nameofthevictimsite.tld/wp-content/plugins/plugin-file-name.extension

If page exists, you know is installed (or at the server)

As Conas says, you can do that. Also, some people don't have a block on having their plugins directory indexed.

As such you can google search for the default directories of these plugins.

The reason I mention this is that people should block these directories from being indexed by blocking them in their robots.txt.

You can also check the source code, atleast for themes, if you saw a great layout but wasn't sure which one the site was using...
 
You can also check the source code

The source also reveals some plugins.
Mainly those that do something with the page/post.

Examples: All In One SEO, Tracking plus or code.

Plugins that work in the backend of your blog like scrapers, rewriters, cloakers, etc. have no need to show up the source code unless the programmer deliberately coded it that way.
 
I just this idea and wanted to ask - if the owner has no robots.txt and has his .htaccess settings to 777 - so can I change site and CS it ??

I know a way to find such sites which gets decent and targeted traffic and no one is monetising it the right way :)
