Twitter Access Keys

Description

General

  • Documentation: https://developer.twitter.com/en/docs/twitter-api
  • Summary: Twitter is a social network on which user post and interact with messages known as "tweets". Twitter exposes an API to programmatically interact with the platform. To access the API, the developer must apply for a developer account and generate a set of client_id and client_secret from its developer dashboard. This set of credentials must be passed with each request. This detector focuses on catching these credentials. Alongside application credentials, user access tokens are frequently found. They are a second set of credentials granting access to a Twitter user account. They can be used to send tweets or direct messages in the name of this user.
  • IPs allowlist: This feature is currently not supported.
  • Scopes: Each Twitter developer App has its own set of access permissions : read, read/write, read/write/direct messages.

Revoke the secret

Each App's credentials can be managed from the developer's dashboard.

Check for suspicious activity

Some usage metrics are displayed on the home page of the developer's dashboard. They could be used to detect suspicious activities. If user access tokens accompany the application credentials, the related account should be reviewed.
