That AWS key on line 47 just became everyone's problem. SecretScan catches hardcoded API keys, tokens, passwords, and private keys before they reach your repo.
Hardcoded secrets in source code cause breaches, account takeovers, and six-figure cloud bills. It takes seconds for bots to find a leaked AWS key on GitHub. SecretScan catches every credential before it leaves your machine.
Detects hardcoded API keys from AWS, GCP, Azure, Stripe, Twilio, SendGrid, and dozens more providers with high-confidence pattern matching.
Finds passwords assigned as string literals, default credentials, and connection strings with embedded auth. No more "password123" in production.
Catches RSA, SSH, PGP, and TLS private keys committed to source. Detects PEM blocks, PKCS8 markers, and key file content patterns.
Scans for AWS access keys, GCP service account JSON, Azure connection strings, and cloud-specific tokens across every file in your repo.
Identifies hardcoded JWT signing secrets, HMAC keys, and OAuth client secrets. Catches the tokens that protect your entire auth system.
Uses Shannon entropy scoring to detect high-randomness strings that look like secrets, even when they don't match known provider patterns.
