Table: hibp_paste - Query HIBP Pastes using SQL

HIBP (Have I Been Pwned) is a service that allows users to check whether their personal data has been compromised by data breaches. The service collects and analyzes hundreds of database dumps and pastes containing information about billions of leaked accounts. A Paste is information that has been "pasted" to a publicly facing website designed to share content, such as Pastebin.

Table Usage Guide

The hibp_paste table provides insights into pastes within HIBP. As a security analyst, explore paste-specific details through this table, including the source, id, title, author, date, email count, and the full URL of the paste. Utilize it to uncover information about pastes, such as those containing compromised personal data, the sources of these pastes, and the extent of personal data leaks.

Important Notes

This table requires an API key to be configured in the hibp.spc file.

This table is available as a standalone Exporter CLI. Steampipe exporters are stand-alone binaries that allow you to extract data using Steampipe plugins without a database.

You can download the tarball for your platform from the Releases page, but it is simplest to install them with the steampipe_export_installer.sh script:

/bin/sh -c "$(curl -fsSL https://steampipe.io/install/export.sh)" -- hibp

You can pass the configuration to the command with the --config argument:
