This skill guides the detection and recovery of exposed version-control system (VCS) metadata, including paths for Git, SVN, and Mercurial, as well as common backup and configuration files. It is essential for authorized penetration testing when assessing an application's security posture against information leaks. Techniques include probing specific directories (e.g., /.git/HEAD) and analyzing status codes (e.g., 403 vs 404) to confirm exposure.
