My tips for finding security issues in GitHub projects.
GitHub for Bug Bounty Hunters
GitHub repositories can disclose all sorts of potentially valuable information for bug bounty hunters. The targets do not always have to be open source for there to be issues. Organization members and their open source projects can sometimes accidentally expose information that could be used against the target company. in this article I will give you a brief overview that should help you get started targeting GitHub repositories for vulnerabilities and for general recon.
Mass Cloning
You can just do your research on github.com, but I would suggest cloning all the target's repositories so that you can run your tests locally. I would highly recommend @mazen160's GitHubCloner. Just run the script and you should be good to go.
Certified Information Systems Security Professional notes.
CISSP is a certification from the "International Information System Security Certification Consortium", more frequently known as (ISC)² (see https://www.isc2.org/Certifications/CCSP).
DevSecOps has finally become popular within the wider IT industry in 2019. I started as a web developer in 2001, learned about testing automation, system deployment automation, and "infrastructure as code" in 2012, when DevOps has becoming a popular term. DevOps became common after the release of The Phoenix Project in Jan 2013. It has taken 7 years for security to become integrated within the devops methodology. The following is a list of concepts I go through with project owners, project managers, operations, developers, and security teams, to help establish how mature their devops and security automation is, and to help them increase that maturity over time. This model is based on experience consulting with a variety of US Financial, Healthcare, and Department of Defense, organizations, and combines:
This is an opinionated guide to learning about computer security (independently of a university or training program), starting with the absolute basics (suitable for someone without any exposure to or knowledge of computer security) and moving into progressively more difficult subject matter.
It seems that most people don't realize how much information is actually available on the internet. People love to share (especially geeks) and everything you need to become well versed in computer security is already available to you (and mostly for free). However, sometimes knowing where to start is the hardest part - which is the problem that this guide is intended to address. Therefore, this guide can accuratley be described as a 'guide to guides', with additional recommendations on effective learning and execises, based on my own experiences.
Many of the free resources are the best resources and this guide focuses on them. It is intended to provided a comprehensive
