Research update for HackTricks content

🤖 Agent Actions

I read the existing page, researched recent developments and tools, and enhanced the file with up-to-date, technical, and practical content while preserving all valuable existing material. Key updates:

• Added modern guidance on GitHub Code Search (regex usage, branch scoping, practical examples).
• Added actionable org-wide scanning workflows and one-liners for TruffleHog v3, Gitleaks v8, Nosey Parker, and ggshield.
• Clarified common leak locations in GitHub (history, issues/PRs, wikis, actions logs, releases, gists) and important gotchas (legacy API limits, indexing/size caveats).
• Updated tool list with maintenance status where relevant.
• Introduced a short “Updated dorks for modern tokens” section (GitHub and Slack token prefixes, common AI/cloud keys).
• Kept the original large dorks block intact.
• Linked to the related HackTricks page via an internal reference block.
• Added a concise References section (2 high-signal links).

If you want any additional sections (e.g., automated triage/de-duplication workflow or CI integration examples), I can add them.
