You Should Know:
SlackPirate is a tool designed to extract sensitive information from Slack workspaces, which can be used for both offensive and defensive security purposes. Below are some practical steps, commands, and code snippets to understand and utilize SlackPirate effectively.
Installation and Setup
1. Clone the SlackPirate Repository:
git clone https://github.com/emtunc/SlackPirate.git cd SlackPirate
2. Install Dependencies:
pip install -r requirements.txt
3. Set Up Slack API Token:
- Obtain a Slack API token with the necessary permissions (e.g.,
channels:history,channels:read). - Export the token as an environment variable:
export SLACK_TOKEN='xoxp-your-slack-token-here'
Running SlackPirate
1. Extract Channel Messages:
python SlackPirate.py --channels
2. Export Messages to a File:
python SlackPirate.py --export --output slack_messages.json
3. Search for Specific Keywords:
python SlackPirate.py --search "password"
Example Code Snippet
Here’s a Python script to automate Slack message extraction using SlackPirate:
import os
import subprocess
def run_slackpirate(command):
process = subprocess.Popen(command, stdout=subprocess.PIPE, shell=True)
output, error = process.communicate()
return output.decode('utf-8')
<h1>Set Slack token</h1>
os.environ['SLACK_TOKEN'] = 'xoxp-your-slack-token-here'
<h1>Run SlackPirate to extract messages</h1>
output = run_slackpirate("python SlackPirate.py --channels")
print(output)
Defensive Measures
1. Monitor Slack API Usage:
Regularly audit Slack API tokens and permissions to ensure they are not misused.
2. Enable Two-Factor Authentication (2FA):
Ensure all Slack users have 2FA enabled to prevent unauthorized access.
3. Use Slack’s Enterprise Key Management (EKM):
For added security, enable EKM to control encryption keys for your Slack workspace.

Related Commands:
- Linux: Use `grep` to search through extracted Slack messages:
grep -i "password" slack_messages.json
- Windows: Use `findstr` for similar functionality:
[cmd]
findstr /i “password” slack_messages.json
[/cmd] - Slack API: Use `curl` to test Slack API endpoints:
curl -H "Authorization: Bearer $SLACK_TOKEN" https://slack.com/api/channels.list
Stay vigilant and secure your Slack workspace!
