About:
Kingfisher is a high-performance secret scanning tool designed to validate and detect secrets across codebases and data streams. It leverages MongoDB's expertise in security to identify sensitive information like API keys and credentials with blazing speed. The tool provides robust validation to reduce false positives and ensure accurate detection of compromised secrets.
|
Key Features:
- Blazingly fast scanning performance
- Advanced secret validation to minimize false positives
- Support for multiple secret types and patterns
- Integration with CI/CD pipelines
- Rust-based for memory safety and efficiency
|
Use Cases:
- Pre-commit hooks to prevent secret leaks in code
- CI/CD pipeline integration for automated security scanning
- Auditing existing repositories for exposed credentials
- Validating secrets in logs and data exports
|
Alternatives:
-
truffleHog
– Python-based, focuses on entropy checks but slower on large codebases
-
gitleaks
– Go-based, similar performance but Kingfisher offers more advanced validation features
