Gitrob is a Go-based reconnaissance tool that scans GitHub users' and organizations' public repositories for potentially sensitive files by analyzing commit history against configurable signatures. Findings are presented through a local web interface and can be saved to JSON session files for later analysis.

Use cases

• find leaked secrets in a github organization's public repos
• scan commit history for sensitive files like keys and credentials
• osint reconnaissance on github users before an assessment
• audit what sensitive data employees pushed to public repositories
• browse and share scan findings through a web interface

When to choose

• you need to assess an organization's public GitHub exposure for leaked credentials
• you want a CLI tool with a web UI for browsing findings and shareable session files

When to avoid

• you need to scan private repositories or non-GitHub forges like GitLab
• you need actively maintained tooling - the last release was 2022 and the repo is in maintenance mode
