Automated GitHub Scanner for Exposed AWS IAM Keys
detail.loadingPreview
Proactively scan GitHub for exposed AWS IAM keys with this automated workflow. Detect compromised credentials, generate detailed reports, and receive immediate alerts to mitigate security risks.
About This Workflow
This n8n workflow automates the critical task of identifying exposed AWS IAM access keys within public GitHub repositories. It leverages your AWS credentials to list user access keys and then uses your GitHub API access to search for these keys across GitHub. By cross-referencing findings, it determines if your keys are compromised, categorizes the risk, and generates comprehensive reports. The workflow is designed to provide actionable insights, enabling your security team to quickly respond to potential breaches and maintain a robust security posture.
Key Features
- Automated Credential Scanning: Continuously monitors GitHub for exposed AWS IAM access keys.
- Real-time Risk Assessment: Identifies compromised keys and quantifies the potential impact.
- Comprehensive Reporting: Generates detailed reports outlining compromised keys, repositories, and risk levels.
- Instant Security Alerts: Notifies your team via Slack upon detection of exposed keys.
- Configurable Workflow: Easily adapt the workflow to your specific AWS and GitHub environments.
How To Use
- Trigger Workflow: Manually initiate the scan by clicking the 'Execute workflow' button.
- Configure AWS Credentials: Ensure your AWS credentials are set up in n8n to allow the 'Get User Access Keys' node to connect.
- Configure GitHub Credentials: Provide your GitHub API token to the 'Search GitHub for Exposed Keys' node for repository searching.
- Review Results: Examine the aggregated search results and the 'Check For Compromised Keys' node's outcome.
- Action Alerts: If the 'Check For Compromised Keys' node indicates compromise, a Slack alert will be sent, and a detailed security report will be generated for manual review and action.
