## What it is
GitDorker is a Python CLI tool that uses the GitHub Search API with a curated list of over 200 dorks to find sensitive information exposed on GitHub. It provides a clean attack surface for further analysis with tools like GitRob or Trufflehog.

## Use cases
- find leaked secrets and credentials on github
- bug bounty reconnaissance on a target domain
- scan github for sensitive information about a company
- enumerate exposed api keys and tokens in repos
- map an organization's github attack surface
- automate github dorking with a personal access token

## When to choose
- you need to discover leaked secrets or sensitive data on github for a target
- you want a curated dork list and clean output to feed into tools like trufflehog
- you're doing bug bounty or osint reconnaissance on github

## When to avoid
- you need continuous secret scanning integrated into your CI pipeline
- you want automated secret verification rather than candidate discovery
- you cannot obtain github personal access tokens

## Facets
- artifact type: cli-tool
