Organizations are using Git more than ever before, but are they securing it? Unfortunately, a large number of websites are leaving git exposed at the root of their site which allows anyone to grab the repository and exfil all flavors of source code. Even more, this exposed source code usually has sensitive data, credentials, and other fun stuff scattered about.
In this talk, I will walk you through various ways find sites that have exposed their git repositories to the world and what you can do with it. We will uncover database credentials of .gov sites, authentication keys, and more. I will also introduce you to tools that you can use to make the process easier as well as how to bypass broken/incomplete repos using git internals.
