This tool analyzes a given Gitlab repository and searches for dangling or force-pushed commits, containing potential secret or interesting information.

It's based on https://github.com/neodyme-labs/github-secrets which does the same for Github

• Python3
• requests

git clone https://github.com/neodyme-labs/github-secrets.git

To get a list of basic options and switches use:

python3 gitlab_scanner.py -h

You can run this script either completely unauthenticated if you are checking public repositories, or your generated API token by following this guide.

The tokens need requires read_api scope.

To export the token use:

export GITLAB_ACCOUNT_TOKEN=<your_secret_api_token>

To use against a custom instance of Gitlab

export GITLAB_INSTANCE_URL=<your_instance_url>

To run the script and scan a repository:

python3 gitlab_scanner.py <organisation>/<repository>

An example repository for testing is https://gitlab.com/gitlab-secrets/gitlab-secrets

This can only detect dangling commits from the last 3 years due to the retention period on events in Gitlab.
