About Secrets Detection
Hardcoded secrets and sensitive information in code or configuration files can lead to serious security vulnerabilities. This tool helps you identify potential security risks before they become problems.
Types of Secrets Detected
- API Keys - Authentication tokens for APIs and services
- Access Credentials - AWS keys, GitHub tokens, and other platform credentials
- Private Keys - SSH keys, encryption keys, and certificates
- Database Credentials - Database usernames, passwords, and connection strings
- Other Sensitive Data - IP addresses and potentially sensitive configurations
Best Practices
- Use environment variables for sensitive configuration
- Leverage secret management services like AWS Secrets Manager, HashiCorp Vault, or Azure Key Vault
- Implement Git pre-commit hooks to prevent committing secrets
- Regularly audit your codebase for exposed credentials
- Rotate compromised credentials immediately upon discovery
Important Note
This tool provides basic scanning capabilities and may not detect all secrets. It may also generate false positives. For comprehensive security scanning, consider dedicated security tools and regular security audits.
