Git Hound – Find Exposed Keys Across GitHub Using Code Search Keywords

Git Hound makes it easy to find exposed APi keys on GitHub using pattern matching, targetted querying, and a scoring system.

This differs from other OSINT GitHub scanners by searching keywords across GitHub rather than targeting specific repositories, exposing a fundamentally different set of results. 

GitRob is an excellent tool that specifically targets an organization or user’s owned repositories for secrets. A pattern-matching, batch-catching secret snatcher. This project is intended to be used for educational purposes.

Usage

echo "tillsongalloway.com" | python git-hound.py or python git-hound.py --subdomain-file subdomains.txt We also offer a number of flags to target specific patterns (known service API keys), file names (.htpasswd, .env), and languages (python, javascript).

Flags

• --subdomain-file – The file with the subdomains
• --api-keys – Enable generic API key searching. This uses common API key patterns and Shannon entropy to find potential exposed API keys.
• --output – The output file (default is stdout)
• --output-type – The output type (requires output flag to be set; default is flatfile)
• --many-results – Use result sorting to scrape more than 100 pages of results
• --results-only – Print only regexed results to stdout. Useful for piping into another script
• --all – Print all URLs, including ones with no pattern match. Otherwise, the scoring system will do the work.
• --regex-file – Supply a custom regex file
• --language-file – Supply a custom file with languages to search.
• --config-file – Custom config file (default is config.yml)
• --pages – Max pages to search (default is 100, the page maximum)
• --silent – Don’t print results to stdout (most reasonably used with –output).
• --no-antikeywords – Don’t attempt to filter out known mass scans
• --only-filtered – Only search filtered queries (languages, file extensions)
• --debug – Print debug messages. Helpful for debugging slow expressions.
