GitHub API Data Exfiltration PoC

This Proof of Concept (PoC) demonstrates how data can be collected from a system and exfiltrated using the GitHub API. The code simulates a data stealer by gathering system information (e.g., hostname, OS version, network details) and sending it as a comment to a GitHub issue or as a file in a repository using legitimate API calls.

How It Works

1. Collects system information using Windows API calls.
2. Formats the data into a JSON payload.
3. Uses the GitHub API (with a valid token) to post the data as an issue comment or repository file.

How to make it work !

• Create Token from settings -> https://github.com/settings/tokens
• Create a issue on any repo need
• Note down the issue number

• Do the changes here !

• To build:

    cargo build --release
