Theory
Online repositories of code hold a window into an organization's technology stack, revealing the programming languages and frameworks they employ. In some rare instances, developers have unintentionally exposed sensitive information, including critical data and credentials, within public repositories. These inadvertent revelations may present a unique opportunity us.
To automate the process of searching sensitives files and hardcoded credentials in Git repositories, we may use following tools
Github-dorks is a python tools used to search leaked secrets via github search. Its collection of Github dorks can reveal sensitive personal and/or organizational information such as private keys, credentials, authentication tokens, etc.
Alternatively, we can manualy search for specific dorks, without using Github-dorks :
Examples of Github Dorks are :
filename:.npmrc _auth
npm registry authentication data
filename:.dockercfg auth
docker registry authentication data
extension:pem private
private keys
extension:ppk private
puttygen private keys
filename:id_rsa or filename:id_dsa
private ssh keys
filename:wp-config.php
wordpress config files
filename:.env MAIL_HOST=smtp.gmail.com gmail
smtp configuration (try different smtp services too)
shodan_api_key language:python
Shodan API keys (try other languages too)
/"sk-[a-zA-Z0-9]{20,50}"/ language:Shell
Open AI API Keys
"api_hash" "api_id"
