Example

Converting YAML-based rule URL to gf compatible

$ secpat2gf -r https://github.com/mazen160/secrets-patterns-db/raw/master/datasets/generic.yml
[02/10/2023 08:56:55 AM] Slack Token pattern
{
  "flags": "-aHnPr",
  "pattern": "(xox[pborsa]-[0-9]{12}-[0-9]{12}-[0-9]{12}-[a-z0-9]{32})"
}
[02/10/2023 08:56:55 AM] test pattern
{
  "flags": "-aHnPr",
  "pattern": "test"
}
[02/10/2023 08:56:55 AM] generic password pattern
{
  "flags": "-aHnPr",
  "pattern": "password.+"
}
[02/10/2023 08:56:55 AM] Generic secret pattern
{
  "flags": "-aHnPr",
  "pattern": "secret.+"
}
...

Converting YAML-based rule file to gf & save the results

$ secpat2gf --save -r generic.yaml
[02/10/2023 10:30:56 AM] directory '$HOME/.gf' created successfully
[02/10/2023 10:30:57 AM] Saving Slack Token pattern to $HOME/.gf/slack-token_secrets.json
[02/10/2023 10:30:57 AM] Saving test pattern to $HOME/.gf/test_secrets.json
[02/10/2023 10:30:57 AM] Saving generic password pattern to $HOME/.gf/generic-password_secrets.json
[02/10/2023 10:30:57 AM] Saving Generic secret pattern to $HOME/.gf/generic-secret_secrets.json
[02/10/2023 10:30:57 AM] Saving Generic token pattern to $HOME/.gf/generic-token_secrets.json
...

Then we can see that the pattern can be successfully compiled to gf:

$ gf -list
admin-password_secrets
aws-client-id_secrets
aws-mws-id_secrets
aws-secret-key_secrets
basic-auth-credentials_secrets
basic-token_secrets
bearer-token_secrets
$ gf -dump admin-password_secrets # dump pattern
grep -aHnPr "(admin).+(secret|token|key).+" .

Weaponizing

See workaround from gf-secrets to weaponize those patterns.
