Github Dorks

Github search is quite powerful and useful feature and can be used to search sensitive data on the repositories. Collection of github dorks that can reveal sensitive personal and/or organizational information such as private keys, credentials, authentication tokens, etc. This list is supposed to be useful for assessing security and performing pen-testing of systems.

GitHub Dork Search Tool

github-dork.py is a simple python tool that can search through your repository or your organization/user repositories. Its not a perfect tool at the moment but provides a basic functionality to automate the search on your repositories against the dorks specified in text file.

Installation

This tool uses github3.py to talk with GitHub Search API.

Clone this repository and run:

pip install -r requirements.txt

Usage

GH_USER  - Environment variable to specify github user
GH_PWD   - Environment variable to specify password
GH_TOKEN - Environment variable to specify github token
GH_URL   - Environment variable to specify GitHub Enterprise base URL

Some example usages are listed below:

python github-dork.py -r techgaun/github-dorks                          # search single repo

python github-dork.py -u techgaun                                       # search all repos of user

python github-dork.py -u dev-nepal                                      # search all repos of an organization

GH_USER=techgaun GH_PWD=<mypass> python github-dork.py -u dev-nepal     # search as authenticated user

GH_TOKEN=<github_token> python github-dork.py -u dev-nepal              # search using auth token

GH_URL=https://github.example.com python github-dork.py -u dev-nepal    # search a GitHub Enterprise instance

Limitations

  • Authenticated requests get a higher rate limit. But, since this tool waits for the api rate limit to be reset (which is usually less than a minute), it can be slightly slow.
  • Output formatting is not great. PR welcome
  • Handle rate limit and retry. PR welcome

Contribution

Please consider contributing the dorks that can reveal potentially sensitive information in github.
