Rusty Hogs

Rusty Hog is a secret scanner built in Rust for performance, and based on TruffleHog which is written in Python. Rusty Hog provides the following binaries:

• Ankamali Hog: Scans for secrets in a Google doc.
• Berkshire Hog: Scans for secrets in an S3 bucket.

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

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/v1.0.0/rustyhogs-1.0.0.zip
unzip rustyhogs-1.0.0.zip
darwin_releases/choctaw_hog -h

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, first install cross. Then run the following commands and upload berkshire_lambda.zip to your AWS Lambda dashboard:

cross build --release --target x86_64-unknown-linux-musl
cp target/x86_64-unknown-linux-musl/release/berkshire_hog bootstrap
zip -j berkshire_lambda.zip bootstrap

USAGE:
    ankamali_hog [FLAGS] [OPTIONS] <GDRIVEID>

FLAGS:
        --caseinsensitive    Sets the case insensitive flag for all regexes
        --entropy            Enables entropy scanning

        --oauthtoken         Path to an OAuth token storage file ./temp_token by default
        --prettyprint        Outputs the JSON in human readable format
    -v, --verbose            Sets the level of debugging information
    -h, --help               Prints help information

USAGE:
    berkshire_hog [FLAGS] [OPTIONS] <S3URI> <S3REGION>

FLAGS:
        --caseinsensitive    Sets the case insensitive flag for all regexes
        --entropy            Enables entropy scanning
        --prettyprint        Outputs the JSON in human readable format
    -r, --recursive          Recursively scans files under the prefix
    -v, --verbose            Sets the level of debugging information
    -h, --help               Prints help information
    -V, --version            Prints version information

OPTIONS:
    -o, --outputfile <OUTPUT>    Sets the path to write the scanner results to (stdout by default)
        --profile <PROFILE>      When using a configuration file, enables a non-default profile
        --regex <REGEX>          Sets a custom regex JSON file

ARGS:
    <S3URI>       The location of a S3 bucket and optional prefix or filename to scan. This must be written in the form
                  s3://mybucket[/prefix_or_file]
    <S3REGION>    Sets the region of the S3 bucket to scan

Berkshire Hog (Lambda) usage

Berkshire Hog is currently designed to be used as a Lambda function. This is the basic data flow:

    ┌───────────┐              ┌───────┐     ┌────────────────┐     ┌────────────┐
    │ S3 bucket │ ┌────────┐   │       │     │ Berkshire Hog  │     │ S3 bucket  │
    │  (input) ─┼─┤S3 event├──▶│  SQS  │────▶│    (Lambda)    │────▶│  (output)  │
    │           │ └────────┘   │       │     │                │     │            │
    └───────────┘              └───────┘     └────────────────┘     └────────────┘

In order to run Berkshire Hog this way, set up the following:

1. Configure the input bucket to send an "event" to SQS for each PUSH/PUT event.
2. Set up the SQS topic to accept events from S3, including IAM permissions.
3. Run Berkshire Hog with IAM access to SQS and S3.

        --entropy            Enables entropy scanning
        --prettyprint        Outputs the JSON in human readable format
    -v, --verbose            Sets the level of debugging information
    -h, --help               Prints help information
    -V, --version            Prints version information

OPTIONS:
    -o, --outputfile <OUTPUT>            Sets the path to write the scanner results to (stdout by default)
        --regex <REGEX>                  Sets a custom regex JSON file

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.
