GitHub Search Syntax for Finding API Keys/Secrets/Tokens

As a security professional, it is important to conduct a thorough reconnaissance. With the increasing use of APIs nowadays, it has become paramount to keep access tokens and other API-related secrets secure in order to prevent leaks. However, despite technological advances, human error remains a factor, and many developers still unknowingly hardcode their API secrets into source code and commit them to public repositories. GitHub, being a widely popular platform for public code repositories, may inadvertently host such leaked secrets. To help identify these vulnerabilities, I have created a comprehensive search list using powerful search syntax that enables the search of thousands of leaked keys and secrets in a single search.

Search Syntax:

(path:*.{File_extension1} OR path:*.{File_extension-N}) AND ({Keyname1} OR {Keyname-N}) AND (({Signature/pattern1} OR {Signature/pattern-N}) AND ({PlatformTag1} OR {PlatformTag-N}))

Examples:

These SQL procedures examine the process list and kill the queries that take more than N seconds to execute, or the connections idles for more than N seconds. Requires MySQL 5.1 or later. The companion events use the event scheduler to clean the process list every 30 seconds
-- SQL
drop procedure if exists purge_slow_queries;
drop procedure if exists purge_idle_connections;
drop event if exists auto_purge_slow_queries;
drop event if exists auto_purge_idle_connections;
delimiter //
