Scan public organization's member github commits and publish on slack

Github Secrets Public Monitor

A simple script to loop over all organization members, and search for each commit done by the team, publishing any new commit to a slack channel for a manual review

Why?

There are many very good tools to search for secrets in github repositories.

• https://github.com/awslabs/git-secrets
• https://github.com/anshumanbh/git-all-secrets
• https://github.com/zricethezav/gitleaks
• https://github.com/dxa4481/truffleHog
• https://github.com/auth0/repo-supervisor

All of these uses variety of methods covering search git history, scanning large repos and searching high entropy strings for passwords and strings.

So basically, a black listing approach, searching what could be a leaked password.

What I have seen is that usually such leaks will be wrong commits to public repos or gists, sometimes not part of the github org, and private repos are a different concern.

For a small enough organization scanning manually each and every commit, sometimes can be done, and might be a simpler solution in some cases.

How to run?

GPM_ORG_NAME=YOUR_ORG_NAME GPM_SLACK_HOOK=HOOK_URL GPM_GITHUB_TOKEN=GITHUB_TOKEN ruby org_audit.rb

GITHUB_TOKEN - should only have permission to read organization members, that's it.

GPM_SLACK_HOOK - Incoming Slack hook to a predefined channel.

GPM_ORG_NAME - Your organization's name

Once defined, this can be run on some schedule to keep monitor the organization's public commits.
