I'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.

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/mobile/server setup?
