Working with Git-Secret Tool on Kali Linux OS

Example 1: Check API of this source: https://github.com/windusasongko/-img-src-x-onerror-prompt-1-

In this example, We will be searching API Keys in the https://github.com/windusasongko/-img-src-x-onerror-prompt-1- Repository.

We are selecting Master Branch.

We have got the Google API key from the apikeys.txt file.

Example 2: Check API with this source: https://github.com/windusasongko/Hello-World-1 

In this example, We will be searching API Keys in the https://github.com/windusasongko/Hello-World-1 Repository.

The tool is searching in the repository for API Key.

An API key is a simple encrypted string that recognizes an application without any administrator. They are useful for accessing public data anonymously and are used to connect API requests with your project for quota and billing. 

These API Keys are too sensitive as they are used in Authentication. A leaked API Key can cause several problems as this can be Security Flaw. Git-Secret is the automated tool used to find the API keys from the GitHub Repositories. We only need to provide the Repository link and the rest of the work is done by the tool. Git-Secret tool is developed in the Golang tool. Git-Secret tool is available on GitHub, it’s open-source and free-to-use.

Note: Make Sure You have Golang Installed on your System, as this is a Golang-based tool.
