Features & Capabilities

DotGit is a powerful Chrome extension designed to enhance your web security awareness by detecting exposed sensitive folders and files on websites you visit. It checks for the presence of .git, .svn, .hg folders, .env files, and .DS_Store files, which if exposed, can pose serious security risks.

Key features include real-time notifications when such folders or files are found, the ability to download the entire .git folder in a zip format (even hidden files), viewing the .git/config file with one click, and options to customize colors, notifications, and download settings. DotGit also checks if a site is open source (hosted on GitHub or GitLab) and if it has a security.txt file.

This extension is a valuable tool for developers, security professionals, and anyone interested in web security, providing an easy way to identify potential vulnerabilities while browsing. Some checks are optional and can be enabled in settings to tailor the experience to your needs.

Is DotGit Safe?

Risk impact

Risk impact measures the level of extra permissions an extension has access to. A low risk impact extension cannot do much harms, whereas a high risk impact extension can do a lot of damage like stealing your password, bypassing your security settings, and accessing your personal data. High risk impact extensions are not necessarily malicious. However, if they do turn malicious, they can be very harmful.

DotGit requires some sensitive permissions that could impact your browser and data security. Exercise caution before installing.

Risk likelihood

Risk likelihood measures the probability that a Firefox add-on may turn malicious. This is determined by the publisher and the Firefox add-on reputation on Firefox Add-ons Store, the amount of time the Firefox add-on has been around, and other signals about the Firefox add-on. Our algorithms are not perfect, and are subject to change as we discover new ways to detect malicious extensions. We recommend that you always exercise caution when installing a Firefox add-on.

DotGit is probably trust-worthy. Prefer other publishers if available. Exercise caution when installing this add-on.
