Profile

I built GitLeak (https://gitleak.io) - a free OSINT tool for GitHub. It scans through user profiles to find leaked email addresses, commit timezones, git usernames, and commit time patterns.The motivation: I consider myself reasonably security-conscious and have my email set to "private" on GitHub's web UI. However, while playing around with GitHub's API, I realized my personal email was still completely exposed. I built GitLeak to see how widespread this is.How it works: The leak usually happens because of a disconnect between local Git settings and GitHub's web settings. While a user might hide their email on their GitHub profile, their local git config user.email is often set to a persona

Its activity falls under show hn launch; the profile below is assembled from public directory data.
