Distributed Version Control Systems, like git are becoming an increasingly popular way to deploy web applications and web related resources. Our research shows these repositories commonly contain information very useful to an attacker. This talk, which was part of my small contribution to the Penetration Testing Execution Standard (PTES) will demonstrate how to identify these repositories and techniques to pillage just as much information as possible from them. Lastly there will be release of a toolkit to automate the the discussed techniques supporting git, hg and bzr repositories!

Adam Baldwin has over 10+ years of mostly self taught computer security experience and currently is the co-founder and Chief Pwning Officer at nGenuity focusing on security of web applications. He at one time possessed a GCIA and if his CPE's are up to date should still have a CISSP. Prior to starting nGenuity Adam worked for Symantec. Adam is a minor contributor to the W3AF project and has previously spoke at Toorcamp, Djangcon 2010, and JSconf 2011.
