Pillager - Filesystems For Sensitive Information With Go
Pillager is designed to provide a simple means of leveraging Go's strong concurrency model to recursively search directories for sensitive information in files. Pillager does this by standing on the shoulders of a few giants. Once pillager finds files that match the specified pattern, the file is scanned using a series of concurrent workers that each take a line of the file from the job queue and hunt for sensitive pattern matches. The available pattern filters can be defined in a rules.toml file or you can use the default ruleset.

Configuration
Gitleaks Rules
Pillager provides full support for Gitleaks rules. This can either be passed in with a rules.toml file, or you can use the default ruleset by leaving the rules flag blank.
# rules.tomltitle = "pillager rules"[[rules]]description = "AWS Access Key"regex = '''(A3T[A-Z0-9]|AKIA|AGPA|AIDA|AROA|AIPA|ANPA|ANVA|ASIA)[A-Z0-9]{16}'''tags = ["key", "AWS"][[rules.entropies]] Min = "3.5" Max = "4.5" Group = "1"[[rules]]description = "Email Address"regex = '''(?i)([A-Za-z0-9!#$%&'*+\/=?^_{|.}~-][email protected](?:[a-z0-9](?:[a-z0-9-]*[a-z0-9])?\.)+[a-z0-9](?:[a-z0-9-]*[a-z0-9])?)'''tags = ["email", "User Info"]
Custom Templates
Pillager allows you to use powerful go text/template
to customize the output format. Here are a few template examples.
Basic
{{/*basic.tmpl*/}} {{ range .Leaks}} Leak: {{.Line}} Line: {{.LineNumber}} File: {{ .File }} {{end}}
Markdown Styling
{{/*markdown.tmpl*/}} # Results {{ range .Leaks}} ## {{ .File }} - Location: {{.LineNumber}} {{end}}
Documentation
GoDoc documentation is available on pkg.go.dev for pillager but it also available for all packages in the ./pkg directory. Just open the folder of any package, and you'll see the GoDocs rendered in beautiful Github-flavored markdown thanks to the awesome gomarkdoc tool.
Shoulders of Giants
What is Cobra?
Cobra is a library providing a simple interface to create powerful modern CLI interfaces similar to git & go tools. Cobra is also an application that will generate your application scaffolding to rapidly develop a Cobra-based application.
If you've seen a CLI written in Go before, there's a pretty high chance it was built with Cobra. I can't recommend this library enough. It empowers developers to make consistent, dynamic, and self-documenting command line tools with ease. Some examples include kubectl
, hugo
, and Github's gh
CLI.
Gitleaks
What is Gitleaks?
Gitleaks is a SAST tool for detecting hardcoded secrets like passwords, api keys, and tokens in git repos.
Gitleaks is an amazing tool for secret leak prevention. If you haven't implemented Gitleaks as a pre-commit checker, it's worth your time to check it out.
Why is Gitleaks relevant to Pillager?
Pillager implements the powerful rules functionality of Gitleaks while taking a more offensive approach to working with the secrets found. While I have provided a baseline set of default rules, Pillager becomes much more powerful if you allow users to create rules for their own use-cases.
This goes without saying but I'm going to say it anyways: I am not responsible for any repercussions caused by your use of pillager. This tool is intended for defensive, Blue Team use.
