<hr>

KeyFinder is a browser extension for Chrome and Firefox that passively scans every page you visit for leaked API keys, tokens, secrets, and credentials. It runs silently in the background with zero configuration required.

## What It Detects

KeyFinder ships with **80+ detection patterns** covering secrets from:

| Category | Providers |
|----------|-----------|
| **Cloud** | AWS (Access Keys, Secret Keys, Session Tokens, Cognito), Google Cloud (API Keys, OAuth, Service Accounts), Azure (Storage Keys, SAS Tokens, Connection Strings) |
| **Source Control** | GitHub (PATs, OAuth, Fine-grained tokens), GitLab (PATs, Pipeline, Runner tokens), Bitbucket |
| **Payments** | Stripe (Secret, Publishable, Restricted, Webhook), PayPal Braintree, Square |
| **Communication** | Slack (Bot, User, App tokens, Webhooks), Discord (Bot tokens, Webhooks), Telegram, Twilio, SendGrid |
| **AI / ML** | OpenAI, Anthropic, HuggingFace, Replicate |
| **Databases** | MongoDB, PostgreSQL, MySQL, Redis connection strings |
| **SaaS** | Shopify, Sentry, New Relic, PlanetScale, Linear, Notion, Datadog, Algolia, Mapbox |
| **Infrastructure** | HashiCorp Vault, Terraform, Docker Hub, NPM, Cloudflare, DigitalOcean, Doppler, Pulumi, Grafana |
| **Crypto** | RSA, EC, OpenSSH, PGP, DSA private keys |
| **Generic** | JWTs, Bearer tokens, Basic Auth, API key assignments, credential URLs, high-entropy strings |

## How It Works

KeyFinder scans **10 different attack surfaces** on every page:

1. **Script `src` URLs** - Checks all script source URLs for keywords and tokens in query parameters
2. **Inline scripts** - Scans `<script>` tag contents for secret patterns
3. **External scripts** - Fetches and scans same-origin JavaScript files
4. **Meta tags** - Checks `<meta>` tags for leaked API keys and tokens
5. **Hidden form fields** - Inspects `<input type="hidden">` values
6. **Data attributes** - Scans `data-*` attributes for sensitive values
7. **HTML comments** - Parses comment nodes for accidentally committed secrets
8. **URL parameters** - Analyzes links and hrefs for tokens in query strings
9. **Web storage** - Scans localStorage and sessionStorage
10. **Network responses** - Intercepts XHR and Fetch responses for leaked secrets

Additionally, **Shannon entropy analysis** is applied to detect random high-entropy strings that may be undocumented secret formats.

## Features

- **Zero dependencies** - Pure vanilla JavaScript, no jQuery, no external libraries
- **Manifest V3** - Built for modern Chrome and Firefox with service worker architecture
- **Passive scanning** - Runs automatically on every page load
- **Custom keywords** - Add your own search terms to scan for
- **Dashboard** - Professional results page with filtering, sorting, and search
- **Export** - Download findings as JSON or CSV
- **Badge counter** - Shows finding count on the extension icon
- **Low footprint** - Minimal CPU and memory usage
- **All frames** - Scans iframes and embedded content

## Installation

### Chrome
- [Install from Chrome Web Store](https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/keyfinder/oogbljkilkfgdlkbmajlolpanilnnkim)

### Firefox
- [Install from Firefox Add-ons](https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/keyfinder-original/)

### From Source

```bash
git clone https://github.com/momenbasel/keyFinder.git
```

**Chrome:**
1. Go to `chrome://extensions`
2. Enable **Developer mode**
3. Click **Load unpacked** and select the `keyFinder` folder

**Firefox:**
1. Go to `about:debugging` > "This Firefox"
2. Click **Load Temporary Add-on**
3. Select `manifest.firefox.json` from the `keyFinder` folder

## Usage

1. **Install** the extension
2. **Browse** the web normally - KeyFinder scans every page in the background
3. Click the **extension icon** to see stats and manage keywords
4. Click **View Findings** to open the full results dashboard
5. **Filter** by severity, provider, or type
6. **Export** findings as JSON or CSV for reporting

## Adding Custom Keywords

Click the extension icon, type a keyword in the input field, and click **Add**. The keyword will be used to scan script URLs, inline code, and key-value assignments on every page you visit.

Default keywords: `key`, `api_key`, `apikey`, `api-key`, `secret`, `token`, `access_token`, `auth`, `credential`, `password`, `client_id`, `client_secret`
