📜 Playbook — Credential / API Token exploitation

1. Direction — frame the requirement for Credential / API Token: what decision does this support, by when?
2. Collection — pull the 2 mapped sources (2 free) and the native workbench; capture provenance and observe OPSEC.
3. Processing — normalize, de-duplicate and enrich the collected data.
4. Analysis — correlate against local holdings; apply ACH; assign confidence.
5. Dissemination — open a case, draft a report, share via STIX/MISP.
6. Feedback — set an alert rule / watchlist to monitor for change.

⚡ AI Skills & Automation

Automate unattended via the cron pipeline (collect → ingest → resolve → enrich → score → alert).

🎫 Credential / API Token

A leaked or discovered credential/API token (cloud key, PAT, OAuth secret, JWT, or service token) found in code, logs, or dumps. It matters because it represents active access exposure, enables provider/scope attribution, and is a high-severity incident trigger requiring validation and revocation.

Format: Provider-prefixed patterns: AWS 'AKIA'+16, GitHub 'ghp_'/'github_pat_', Google 'AIza'+35, Stripe 'sk_live_', Slack 'xox[bap]-', JWT three base64url segments; validate by provider regex and (safely) live-check without abuse.

📡 How it is collected

• Secret scanning of git repos and history
• Public paste/gist and dork searches
• Breach and combolist dumps
• CI/CD log and artifact leakage
• Client-side JS and mobile app extraction
• Cloud storage/bucket exposure
