Source Code Disclosure Scanner
Tests for exposed source code through backup files and misconfigurations.
What is Source Code Disclosure?
Source code disclosure occurs when application source code is accessible to attackers through backup files (.bak, .old), version control directories (.git), IDE files, misconfigured web servers serving code as static files, or file download vulnerabilities.
Why is This Important?
Source code contains business logic, hardcoded credentials, API keys, database schemas, security implementations, and internal comments. Attackers can analyze code to find vulnerabilities, understand authentication mechanisms, and extract secrets.
How It Works
1. Web Crawling
Intelligent crawling discovers all endpoints, forms, parameters, and dynamic content across your web application.
2. Payload Injection
AI-powered payloads test each input vector for web vulnerabilities with context-aware attack patterns.
3. Response Analysis
Advanced analysis detects vulnerability signatures in responses, confirming exploitability with proof-of-concept.

Frequently Asked Questions
What files commonly expose source code?
Backup files (.bak, .old, ~, .swp), version control (.git, .svn), IDE files (.idea, .vscode), archives (backup.zip), and misconfigured extensions.
How serious is .git exposure?
Extremely serious. The entire repository history is accessible, including secrets that were later 'removed' but exist in commit history. Tools can reconstruct full repos from exposed .git directories.
What secrets are typically found?
Database credentials, API keys, encryption keys, internal URLs, admin passwords, AWS credentials, OAuth secrets, and any hardcoded authentication data.
How do I prevent source code exposure?
Block access to sensitive extensions/directories in web server config, never deploy backup files, use .gitignore properly, and scan for exposed files regularly.
