TruffleHog

TruffleHog is a great tool for automatically discovering exposed secrets. You can simply use the following Docker run to initiate a TruffleHog scan of your target's Github.

sudo docker run -it -v "$PWD:/pwd" trufflesecurity/trufflehog:latest github --org=target-name

In the above example, you can see that the org that was targeted was Venmo and the results of the scan indicate URLs that should be investigated for potentially leaked secrets. In addition to searching Github, TruffleHog can also be used to search for secrets in other sources like Git, Gitlab, Amazon S3, filesystem, and Syslog. To explore these other options use the "-h" flag.
