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.

$ python githubcloner.py --org organization -o /tmp/output

Why You Can't Un-Root a Compromised Machine

Let's say somebody temporarily got root access to your system, whether because you "temporarily" gave them sudo rights, they guessed your password, or any other way. Even if you can disable their original method of accessing root, there's an infinite number of dirty tricks they can use to easily get it back in the future.

While the obvious tricks are easy to spot, like adding an entry to /root/.ssh/authorized_keys, or creating a new user, potentially via running malware, or via a cron job. I recently came across a rather subtle one that doesn't require changing any code, but instead exploits a standard feature of Linux user permissions system called setuid to subtly allow them to execute a root shell from any user account from the system (including www-data, which you might not even know if compromised).

If the "setuid bit" (or flag, or permission mode) is set for executable, the operating system will run not as the cur
