Secrets & Dorks

Sub-skill of offensive-osint. Load osint-methodology for pipeline and triage context. Authorized targets only. Read-only validators only — never use a validated credential to create, modify, or delete anything.

---

BEHAVIORAL CONTRACT

When triggered: Secret scanning, leaked credential hunting, GitHub/Google/Bing dorking, API key discovery, or credential verification is needed.

Execute:

1. Run the 48-pattern secret catalog (§1) against the target corpus — GitHub code, Postman workspaces, JS bodies, sourceMaps, mobile strings, Wayback HTML, paste sites, Stack Exchange code blocks. Process patterns in order (most-specific first) to minimize false positives.
2. Run the dork corpus (§2) across Google, Bing, Brave, DDG — substitute {domain} and {company}. Run across multiple engines (they surface different results).
3. Run GitHub code-search dorks (§3) against the target domain stem, full domain, and company name.
4. For every secret match: classify by catalog severity, then validate using the matching read-only validator from §4 (if one exists for that provider).
5. Never validate credentials for which no read-only endpoint exists. Never validate AWS root ARNs (:root).
6. For validated-live credentials: emit SECRET_LEAK finding at catalog severity, then chain to post-discovery for enumeration (gated on RoE).

Output: SECRET_LEAK findings per osint-methodology §3 schema. Validator results per §4.10 schema (status, provider, account_id, scope, checked_at, detectability).

Severity rules: Per catalog table (§1). False-positive-prone patterns (22 JWT, 23 Bearer, 29 Generic) require context check before emitting.

Gating rules: Read-only validators only. Never create/modify/delete/send. Tag every validation with detectability + checked_at UTC.

Chain to: Feed validated-live credentials to post-discovery for enumeration workflows. Feed GitHub dork results through §1 catalog for automated secret scanning. Feed all findings to analysis-and-reporting for severity classification and attack-path hints.

1. Secret-Pattern Catalog — 48 Patterns

Run against: GitHub code, Postman workspaces, JS bodies, sourcesContent blobs, mobile strings, Wayback HTML, paste sites, Stack Exchange code blocks. Order matters: most-specific first.

False-positive notes:

• Patterns 22 (JWT), 23 (Bearer), 29 (Generic) trigger on test/example data. Always check context.
• Pattern 16 (Mailgun loose) and 11 (Stripe test) are intentionally noisy; severity is low.
• Pattern 24 (Basic auth URL) catches monitoring URLs and CI debug URLs — verify before alerting.

3. GitHub Code-Search Dorks — 13 Dorks

Apply each to {target} (root domain stem), {domain} (full root domain), and {company}:

"{target}" filename:.env
"{target}" filename:.env.example
"{target}" filename:config
"{target}" AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID
"{target}" AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY
"{target}" password
"{target}" api_key
"{target}" secret
"{target}" authorization: Bearer
"{target}" filename:id_rsa
"{target}" filename:.git-credentials
"{target}" filename:wp-config.php
"@{domain}" password

For each result: fetch file → run secret catalog → if hit → SECRET_LEAK finding with catalog severity, evidence = repo URL + file path + matched secret (truncate, last 4 chars only).

---

4. Read-Only Secret Validators

Hard rules: read-only endpoint only. Never create, modify, delete, or send anything. Tag every validation with detectability and UTC checked_at.

4.1 Postman PMAK

curl -sk -m 10 -H "X-Api-Key: PMAK-..." https://api.getpostman.com/me | jq .

200 → live (returns user id/email). 401 → dead. Detectability: low.

4.2 AWS Access Key

import boto3
sts = boto3.client('sts', aws_access_key_id='AKIA...', aws_secret_access_key='...', region_name='us-east-1')
print(sts.get_caller_identity())

Valid → returns Account ID + ARN + UserId. :root ARN = do NOT validate. Detectability: medium (CloudTrail logs GetCallerIdentity).

4.3 GitHub PAT

curl -sk -m 10 -H "Authorization: token ghp_..." https://api.github.com/user -D /tmp/h | jq -r '.login,.email'
grep -i 'X-OAuth-Scopes' /tmp/h

200 → live. Scope in X-OAuth-Scopes. repo scope = write access. Detectability: low.

4.4 Slack Token

curl -sk -m 10 -H "Authorization: Bearer xoxb-..." -X POST https://slack.com/api/auth.test | jq .

{"ok": true} → live (includes team, user IDs). Detectability: low.

4.5 Anthropic API Key

curl -sk -m 10 -H "x-api-key: sk-ant-api03-..." -H "anthropic-version: 2023-06-01" \
  https://api.anthropic.com/v1/models | jq '.data | length'

200 → live. 401 → dead. 403 org_disabled → key valid but org disabled. Detectability: low.

4.6 OpenAI API Key

curl -sk -m 10 -H "Authorization: Bearer sk-..." https://api.openai.com/v1/models | jq '.data | length'

200 → live. 429 → live but quota exhausted. Detectability: low.

4.7 npm Token

curl -sk -m 10 -H "Authorization: Bearer npm_..." https://registry.npmjs.org/-/whoami | jq .

200 with {"username": "..."} → live. Detectability: low.

4.8 Atlassian API Token

curl -sk -m 10 -u "email:ATATT3xFfGF0_..." \
  https://<workspace>.atlassian.net/rest/api/3/myself | jq .

200 → live (returns account profile). Detectability: low.

4.9 DataDog API + APP Key

curl -sk -m 10 -H "DD-API-KEY: ..." -H "DD-APPLICATION-KEY: ..." \
  https://api.datadoghq.com/api/v1/validate | jq .

200 → both keys valid. 403 → either key invalid. Detectability: low; appears in DataDog audit log.

4.10 Validator Output Schema

{
  "status": "verified_live | verified_dead | scope_restricted | validation_skipped_by_policy",
  "provider": "postman | aws | github | slack | anthropic | openai | npm | atlassian | datadog",
  "account_id": "<opaque>",
  "scope": "<freeform>",
  "checked_at": "<UTC ISO8601>",
  "detectability": "low | medium | high"
}

After validator confirms live → see post-discovery sub-skill for enumeration workflows (NOT read-only).
