Ask HN: Is there a repository listing privacy sensitive files with default path?

4 pointsby queeerkopfover 10 years ago
I&#x27;m looking for a repository listing files (whith their default paths) that might contain privacy sensitive information. Some Examples: browser history, saved passwords, ssh keys, address books generated by different programs, location data from gps, config files containing credentials etc.<p>Is there a project which lists such files depending on the OS and installed software? Or do you alternatively know of efficient methods to create such a list for a specific desktop&#x2F;mobile&#x2F;server setup?

I&#x27;ve been thinking of doing just that for Mac OS X. If you&#x27;d like to do it yourself, more power to you.<p>There are many, many ways that private information gets logged on OS X. Often it&#x27;s not the fault of the operating system but of third-party applications.
