About:
Gitleaks is a SAST tool designed to detect and prevent hardcoded secrets like passwords, API keys, and tokens in git repositories. It scans git history, commits, and files to identify credentials that shouldn't be exposed. The tool integrates into CI/CD pipelines to block secrets before they reach production.
|
Key Features:
- Scans git history and real-time commits for secrets
- Supports custom rules and regex patterns
- Generates SARIF reports for CI/CD integration
- Pre-commit hook support to catch secrets before they're committed
|
Use Cases:
- Auditing existing repositories for leaked credentials
- Preventing new secrets from being committed via pre-commit hooks
- CI/CD pipeline integration for automated secret detection
|
Alternatives:
-
truffleHog
– Python-based scanner with entropy checks, while Gitleaks is Go-based and faster
-
git-secrets
– AWS tool focused on pre-commit hooks, while Gitleaks offers broader scanning capabilities
