gitGraber

Real-time GitHub monitoring tool to find leaked credentials and API tokens

Visit github.com ↗

gitGraber is a Python tool that monitors newly indexed files on GitHub for sensitive data and API keys using regex pattern matching. It is designed to catch recent leaks from organizations, third-party vendors, or employees and can alert via Slack, Discord, or Telegram.

What it's for

  • Monitor GitHub commits in real time for leaked company secrets and API keys
  • Send automated alerts to Slack, Discord, or Telegram when sensitive tokens are exposed
  • Generate custom wordlists from filenames discovered across indexed repositories

Features

  • Built-in regex detection patterns for over 30 services including AWS, Google, Stripe, Slack, and Twilio
  • Integration with Slack, Discord, and Telegram webhooks for instant notifications
  • Automated cron-job scheduling to run queries at regular 30-minute intervals
  • GitHub rate limit handling with automatic fallback across multiple personal access tokens
  • Deduplication tracking to prevent repeating alerts for previously scanned repository URLs
  • Dynamic wordlist generation based on matching filenames found during queries
