About:
Driftwood is a security tool designed to verify the usage of private keys within your codebase. It scans for potential leaks or misuse of sensitive credentials, helping developers prevent security vulnerabilities before they reach production. This proactive approach enhances overall code security and compliance.
Key Features:
  • Scans codebases for private key exposure
  • Supports multiple key formats and languages
  • Provides actionable remediation guidance
  • Integrates into CI/CD pipelines
Use Cases:
  • Pre-commit hook to catch key leaks before they are committed
  • CI/CD pipeline integration for automated security auditing
  • Auditing existing repositories for historical key exposure
Alternatives:
  • truffleHog – TruffleHog focuses on secrets detection in general, while Driftwood specifically emphasizes private key usage verification.
  • gitleaks – Gitleaks is a widely used secrets scanner; Driftwood offers a more specialized focus on key usage patterns.
