Gitosint is a tool for reconnaissance of the Git services and extracting valuable metadata from commits.

Features

• Extract commit metadata (emails and usernames) from Git repositories

• Analyze GitHub users and organizations

  • Extract commit metadata from repositories, pull requests and GitHub Search results

• Find GitHub users by email addresses

  • Tool is taking advantage of a GitHub feature, which uses the email address in the commit header to link the commit to a GitHub user .

Install Gitosint

The tool requires Go 1.16 version. Ensure that GO111MODULE=on is set.

$ git clone https://github.com/wavvs/gitosint
$ cd gitosint/
$ go install

Usage

Note: The tool is in beta status. Output of the tool may significantly change in the future.

Extracting commit metadata from Git repositories

Extract commit metadata from the remote repositories:

$ gitosint git --repos <url_1>,...,<url_N>

Authenticate to the remote repositories using Basic Auth:

$ gitosint git --frepos repos.txt -u <user> -t <token_or_pass> 
or
$ gitosint git --frepos repos.txt -u <user> -p

You can also use SSH keys and provide corresponding URLs:

$ gitosint git --repos <url_1>,...,<url_N> --ssh <path_to_key> -p

GitHub reconnaissance

Before using this command you need to obtain an access token from Settings > Developer settings > Personal access tokens. Token should have following scopes:

• repo
  • repo:status
  • public_repo
• admin:org
  • read:org
• user
  • read:user
  • user:email
• delete_repo

Extract commit metadata from the repositories and the pull requests of the GitHub user (only non-merged pull requests will be analyzed):

$ gitosint github -t <token> --users <user> --pulls --max-pulls 500

Extract commit metadata from the repositories and the results of GitHub Search (includes searching commits and pull requests):

$ gitosint github -t <token> --users <user> --search --pulls

You can also perform analysis of the GitHub organizations and their members:

$ gitosint github -t <token> --users <org> --pulls --members

Note: omit --members option if an organization has too many members. The tool will exhaust rate limits before finishing analysis of the members.

Find GitHub users by email addresses:

$ gitosint github -t <token> --emails <email_1>,...,<email_N> --search

Extract commit metadata from specific repositories and list their contributors (uses tool functionality):

$ gitosint github -t <token> --repos <github_repo_url> --contributors

Note: If you encounter "push declined due to email privacy restrictions" error temporarily disable "Block command line pushes that expose my email" option at Settings > Emails.

TODO

• Add GitLab support
• Improve tool output
• Improve documentation
• Add logging
• Add option to pause the tool until rate limits are restored
