Usage
Project information

Usage

This project provides a set of scanners that use regular expressions to try and detect the presence of sensitive information, such as API keys, passwords, and personal information. It includes a set of regular expressions by default, but also accepts a JSON object containing your custom regular expressions.

How to install using downloaded binaries

Download and unzip the latest ZIP on the releases tab. Then, run each binary with -h to see the usage.

wget https://github.com/newrelic/rusty-hog/releases/download/v1.0.11/rustyhogs-darwin-choctaw_hog-1.0.11.zip
unzip rustyhogs-darwin-choctaw_hog-1.0.11.zip
darwin_releases/choctaw_hog -h

How to run using DockerHub

Rusty Hog Docker images can be found at the authors personal DockerHub page here A Docker Image is built for each Hog and for each release. So to use choctaw_hog you would run the following commands:

docker pull wetfeet2000/choctaw_hog:1.0.10
docker run -it --rm wetfeet2000/choctaw_hog:1.0.10 --help

How to build

Ensure you have Rust installed and on your path.
Clone this repo, and then run cargo build --release. The binaries are located in target/release.
To build and view HTML documents, run cargo doc --no-deps --open.
To run unit tests, run cargo test.
To cross-compile Berkshire Hog for the AWS Lambda environment, run the following commands and upload berkshire_lambda.zip to your AWS Lambda dashboard:

docker run --rm -it -v "$(pwd)":/home/rust/src ekidd/rust-musl-builder cargo build --release
cp target/x86_64-unknown-linux-musl/release/berkshire_hog bootstrap
zip -j berkshire_lambda.zip bootstrap

How to build on Windows

You will need to compile static OpenSSL binaries and tell Rust/Cargo where to find them:

mkdir \Tools
cd \Tools
git clone https://github.com/Microsoft/vcpkg.git
cd vcpkg
.\bootstrap-vcpkg.bat
.\vcpkg.exe install openssl:x64-windows-static

$env:OPENSSL_DIR = 'C:\Tools\vcpkg\installed\x64-windows-static'
$env:OPENSSL_STATIC = 'Yes'
[System.Environment]::SetEnvironmentVariable('OPENSSL_DIR', $env:OPENSSL_DIR, [System.EnvironmentVariableTarget]::User)
[System.Environment]::SetEnvironmentVariable('OPENSSL_STATIC', $env:OPENSSL_STATIC, [System.EnvironmentVariableTarget]::User)

You can now follow the main build instructions listed above.

How to build Berkshire Hog for Lambda

macOS

Use Homebrew to get the dependencies:

brew install rpm2cpio FiloSottile/musl-cross/musl-cross

Then run ./build_lambda_macos.sh.

The build script will build against OpenSSL 3.0.12. Use export OPENSSL_BUILD_VER=3.0.12 to override.

The build script will build against Amazon Linux kernel headers provided by their RPM; export AMAZON_KERNEL_HEADERS_RPM_URL=... to override where the RPM is downloaded from. (There's nothing preventing a different distribution's linux-headers RPM from being used, we just need the linux-headers to build openssl for Linux)

The build script will create a build-deps directory in your current source root. You can rm -rf this directory safely, but it will be recreated on the next build script run. It will also do various consistency checks to make sure the build should work and if those fail, might ask you to rm -rf that directory anyway to try again.

Linux

Make sure cross is installed (cargo install cross), then just ./build_lambda.sh.

Regex JSON file format

The regex option on scanners allows users to provide a path to their own JSON file of regular expressions that match sensitive material. Any provided file currently will replace, not append to, the default regular expressions provided by SecretScanner. The expected format of the file is a single json object.

The keys should be names for the type of secret each regex entry will detect, as the keys will be used for the reason properties output by the scanner.

Each value should be a string containing a valid [https://docs.rs/regex/1.3.9/regex/#syntax](regular expression for Rust) that should match the type of secret described by its corresponding key.

As of version 1.0.8, the Rusty Hog engine also supports objects as values for each secret. The object can contain all of the following:

a pattern property with the matching regex expression (mandatory)
an entropy_filter property with a boolean value to enable entropy scanning for this information (mandatory)
a threshold property to customize the entropy tolerance on a scale of 0 - 1 (optional, will adjust for old 1-8 format, default 0.6)
a keyspace property to indicate how many possible values are in the key, e.g. 16 for hex, 64 for base64, 128 for ASCII (optional, default 128)
a make_ascii_lowercase property to indicate whether Rust should perform .make_ascii_lowercase() on the key before calculating entropy (optional, default false)

The higher the threshold, the more entropy is required in the secret to consider it a match.

An example of this format is here:

{
    "Generic Secret": {
        "pattern": "(?i)secret[\\s[[:punct:]]]{1,4}[0-9a-zA-Z-_]{16,64}[\\s[[:punct:]]]?",
        "entropy_filter": true,

        "entropy_filter": true
    },

}

Allowlist JSON file format

Scanners provide an allowlist feature. This allows you to specify a list of regular expressions for each pattern that will be ignored by the scanner. You can now optionally supply a list of regular expressions that are evaluated against the file path as well.

The format for this allowlist file should be a single json object. Each key in the allowlist should match a key in the regex json, and the value can be one of two things:

An array of strings that are exceptions for that regex pattern. For example:
An object with at least one key (patterns) and optionally a second key (paths).

In addition, you can specify the key <GLOBAL> which is evaluated against all patterns.

The following is the default allowlist included in all scans:

{
	"Email address": {
		"patterns": [
			"(?i)@newrelic.com",
			"(?i)noreply@",
			"(?i)test@"
		],
		"paths": [
			"(?i)authors",
			"(?i)contributors",
			"(?i)license",
			"(?i)maintainers",
			"(?i)third_party_notices"
		]
	},
	"Credentials in absolute URL": {
		"patterns": [
			"(?i)(https?://)?user:pass(word)?@"
		]
	},
	"New Relic API Key Service Key (new format)": {
		"patterns": [
			"NRAK-123456789ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQR"
		]
	},
	"Generic API Key": {
		"patterns": [
			"(?i)sanitizeAPIKeyForLogging"
		]
	},
	"New Relic License Key": {
		"patterns": [
			"(?i)bootstrap_newrelic_admin_license_key",
			"(?i)xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx",
			"(?i)__YOUR_NEW_RELIC_LICENSE_KEY__LICENSE__",
			"(?i)YOUR_NEW_RELIC_APPLICATION_TOKEN"
		]
	},
	"Generic Secret": {
		"patterns": [
			"(?i)secret:NewRelicLicenseKeySecret"
		]
	},
	"<GLOBAL>": [
		"(?i)example",
		"(?i)fake",
		"(?i)replace",
		"(?i)deadbeef",
		"(?i)ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWX",
		"1234567890"
	]
}

Be aware that in these are strings, not regex expressions, and the keys for this allowlist have to a key in the regex json. Keys are case-sensitive.

Feature Roadmap

1.1: Enterprise features
- Support config files (instead of command line args)
- Support environment variables instead of CLI args
- Multi-threading
- Better context detection and false positive filtering (GitHound, machine learning)
- Use Rusoto instead of s3-rust
- Add JIRA scanner
- Add file-system & archive scanner
- Use Rust features to reduce compilation dependencies?
1.2: Integration with larger scripts and UIs
- Support Github API for larger org management
  - Scan all repos for a list of users
  - Scan all repos in an org
- Generate a web report or web interface. Support "save state" generation from UI.
- Agent/manager model
- Scheduler process (blocked by save state support)

What does the name mean?

TruffleHog is considered the de facto standard / original secret scanner. I have been building a suite of secret scanning tools for various platforms based on TruffleHog and needed a naming scheme, so I started at the top of Wikipedia's list of pig breeds. Thus each tool name is a breed of pig starting at "A" and working up.
