New Gitjacker tool lets you find .git folders exposed online

A new tool called Gitjacker can help developers discover when they’ve accidentally uploaded /.git folders online and have left sensitive information exposed to attackers.

Gitjacker was created by British software engineer Liam Galvin, is written in Go, and was released as a free download last month on GitHub.

In its simplest form, the tool lets users scan a domain and identify the location of a /.git folder on their production systems.

/.git folders should never be uploaded online.

“A .git directory stores all of your [Git] repository data, such as configuration, commit history, and actual content of each file in the repository,” Galvin said in a blog post last month when he launched Gitjacker.

“If you can retrieve the full contents of a .git directory for a given website, you will be able to access raw source code for that site, and often juicy configuration data like database passwords, password salts, and more,” he added.
