# Github Dorks



[Github Search](https://github.com/search) is a quite powerful and useful feature that can be used to search for sensitive data on repositories. Collection of Github dorks 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](github-dork.py) is a simple python tool that can search through your repository or your organization/user repositories. It's not a perfect tool at the moment but provides basic functionality to automate the search on your repositories against the dorks specified in the text file.



### Installation



This tool uses [github3.py](https://github.com/sigmavirus24/github3.py) to talk with GitHub Search API.



Clone this repository and run:



```shell

pip install .

```



### Usage



```

GH_USER  - Environment variable to specify Github user

GH_PWD   - Environment variable to specify a 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:



```shell

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



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



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



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



GH_TOKEN= github-dork.py -u dev-nepal              # search using auth token



GH_URL=https://github.example.com 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 dorks that can reveal potentially sensitive information on Github.



### List of Dorks



I am not categorizing at the moment. Instead, I am going to just the list of dorks with a description. Many of the dorks can be modified to make the search more specific or generic. You can see more options [here](https://github.com/search#search_cheatsheet_pane).
