    Semi-automated tool for discovering exposed secrets in GitHub data

    GitGot is an open source security tool designed to help users quickly search large amounts of public data on GitHub to identify potentially exposed secrets. It operates as a semi-automated, feedback-driven system that combines automated search capabilities with human guidance to refine results during investigation. GitGot leverages the GitHub Search API to perform queries across repositories, files, and gists, allowing security researchers and penetration testers to discover sensitive information that may have been unintentionally exposed in public code. During a search session, users review results and provide feedback that allows GitGot to filter out irrelevant or repetitive findings. This feedback is used to build blacklists that eliminate results based on repository names, file names, user names, or fuzzy matches of file content. The approach helps reduce noise while guiding the search process toward more relevant results.

    pwnedOrNot

    pwnedOrNot

    Check breached emails and find exposed passwords from public dumps

    pwnedOrNot is an open source OSINT tool designed to investigate whether an email address has been compromised in known data breaches and to identify exposed credentials associated with that account. The tool works by interacting with the HaveIBeenPwned (HIBP) API to determine if a given email address appears in breach databases. If the email is found in a breach, the tool proceeds to search for associated passwords within publicly available data dumps. This two-phase approach allows investigators, security professionals, and researchers to assess the exposure level of compromised accounts using publicly accessible breach information. The tool displays useful breach details such as the name of the breach, the affected domain, the breach date, and several status indicators related to the authenticity and status of the breach. pwnedOrNot can also analyze domains to determine whether they have been involved in breaches and can list all breached domains available through the HIBP database.
