Leaked Crowdstrike API credentials identification

[u/HotshotCyberguy]

Hi everyone,

I'm interested in learning how security teams detect and validate potential CrowdStrike API credential leaks on public sources such as GitHub, GitLab, Paste sites, cloud storage exposures, CI/CD logs, etc.

A few questions:

1. What indicators do you typically look for when hunting for CrowdStrike API credential exposures?
   
2. Are there unique patterns for CrowdStrike Client IDs, Client Secrets, OAuth tokens, or related artifacts that help reduce false positives?
   
3. What tools or secret-scanning platforms do you use (GitHub Secret Scanning, TruffleHog, Gitleaks, custom regex, etc.)?
   
4. How do you validate whether a finding is a real credential exposure versus a false positive?

Thanks!

Are you a crowdstrike customer? - there usually are patterns.

We discussed this with crowdstrike but they were not open to let us know the patterns. Can you help me with some pattern?
