JavaScript Recon & Secret Hunting Skill

Purpose

Inspect client-side single page application (SPA) bundles (React, Vue, Next.js, Angular, Webpack) to discover hardcoded API credentials, private cloud buckets, unindexed API routes, and hidden features using trufflehog and regex pattern matching.

Inputs

• JS URL list: /workspace/recon/<target>/js_files_*.txt

Workflow

1. Download JS Assets Locally

Download identified JavaScript files for fast local static analysis:

TARGET_DIR="/workspace/recon/<target>/js_downloads"
mkdir -p "$TARGET_DIR"

if [ -f "/workspace/recon/<target>/js_files.txt" ]; then
    while read -r url; do
        filename=$(echo "$url" | md5sum | cut -d' ' -f1).js
        curl -sSL -m 10 "$url" -o "$TARGET_DIR/$filename" 2>/dev/null || true
    done < "/workspace/recon/<target>/js_files.txt"
fi

2. Secret & Credential Scanning (TruffleHog)

Scan the downloaded JS directory for high-entropy secrets and verified API keys:

if command -v trufflehog >/dev/null 2>&1; then
    trufflehog filesystem "$TARGET_DIR" \
               --json \
               --no-verification=false \
               > /workspace/output/secrets/<target>_trufflehog.json 2>/dev/null || true
fi

3. Route & Endpoint Regex Extraction

Extract hidden API endpoints, GraphQL queries, and Cloud storage URLs from JavaScript source code:

mkdir -p /workspace/output/secrets/<target>

# Extract internal API paths
grep -rhoEI '["'"'"']/(api|v1|v2|v3|admin|internal|graphql|auth)/[a-zA-Z0-9_\-\/]+["'"'"']' "$TARGET_DIR" \
    | tr -d '"'"'" | sort -u > "/workspace/output/secrets/<target>/hidden_routes.txt" || true

# Extract Cloud Buckets (AWS S3, GCP Storage, Azure Blob)
grep -rhoEI '([a-zA-Z0-9.\-_]+\.s3(\.|\-)[a-zA-Z0-9.\-_]+\.amazonaws\.com|storage\.googleapis\.com/[a-zA-Z0-9.\-_]+|[a-zA-Z0-9.\-_]+\.blob\.core\.windows\.net)' "$TARGET_DIR" \
    | sort -u > "/workspace/output/secrets/<target>/cloud_buckets.txt" || true

Output Artifacts

• /workspace/output/secrets/<target>_trufflehog.json - High-confidence leaked API tokens (AWS, Stripe, Firebase, JWT).
• /workspace/output/secrets/<target>/hidden_routes.txt - Hidden backend API routes discovered inside JS bundles.
• /workspace/output/secrets/<target>/cloud_buckets.txt - S3/GCP/Azure storage bucket identifiers.

Safety & Responsible Disclosure Guidelines

• If live production credentials (AWS Secret Key, Stripe Live Key, Database password) are found, halt testing immediately and document the finding for immediate responsible disclosure.
• Never use discovered credentials to read or exfiltrate customer PII data.
