Exploit Shield Dashboard

Where We Monitor

Exploit Shield continuously monitors high-risk public developer ecosystems

GitHub

Public repositories and commit history are continuously scanned for exposed secrets, hardcoded credentials, infrastructure configuration files, OAuth keys, and internal documentation.

Postman

Public workspaces, collections, and environments are analyzed for API keys, bearer tokens, authentication headers, environment variables, and internal system references that could expose production services.

Discovery

Triage

Exploit Shield continuously monitors public developer platforms like GitHub and Postman to identify exposed credentials, keys, and sensitive infrastructure data.

Case Studies

HOW EXPLOIT SHIELD ENABLED TEAMS TO PREVENT MASSIVE BREACHES

Gateway to Mass Exposure

23 Financial Institutions | Shared Vendor | 3 Years Public

A single public personal GitHub repository contained production configuration files for 23 credit unions and banks. Exposed artifacts included:

  • Core banking URLs (Symitar, Fiserv DNA)
  • Visa and Mastercard integration credentials
  • Institution-specific production secrets

The repository was public from May 2022 to February 2025. None of the affected parties detected it.

Enterprise API Ecosystem Exposure

Fortune 500 | Hundreds of API Credentials | 12+ Months Public

An employee moved private Postman collections to a personal account and made them public. Exposed artifacts included:

  • Hundreds of API credentials
  • Production and non-production secrets
  • Authentication tokens actively in use

The exposure persisted for over a year before disclosure. The organization was unaware.

The 20-Year Admin Repository

Health Insurer | Domain Admin Credentials | Public GitHub

While using Exploit Shield for OSINT recon for a penetration test, we discovered a public personal GitHub repository containing:

  • 20 years of internal sysadmin notes
  • Plaintext domain administrator credentials
  • Service account passwords

The repository was not malicious. It was a trusted employee preserving personal notes before leaving the company.

Where Exploit Shield Sits

EDR sees endpoints.
Pentesting sees authorized systems.
ASM sees perimeter infrastructure.

Exploit Shield hunts leaks on public developer platforms.

When secrets leak outside your environment, we detect them, structure the evidence, and feed it into your existing workflows.

Built to Feed the Systems You Already Use

Integrations

Exploit Shield is not another dashboard your team has to monitor. Findings are structured and delivered directly into the systems your security and IT teams already operate.
