About:
TruffleHog is a powerful credential scanner that searches Git history, filesystems, and S3 buckets for exposed secrets. It uses both high-entropy string detection and hundreds of verified checksum patterns to find credentials like API keys, database passwords, and private keys. The tool helps developers prevent data breaches by identifying and removing sensitive information from codebases before they are committed.
|
Key Features:
- Scans Git history, filesystems, and S3 buckets for secrets
- Over 800 verified checksum patterns for high-confidence detection
- Entropy-based detection for unknown secret patterns
- Supports pre-commit hooks and CI/CD integration
- TruffleHog Enterprise features for policy enforcement
|
Use Cases:
- Scanning repositories for accidentally committed credentials
- CI/CD pipeline integration to prevent secret leakage
- Auditing historical commits for exposed secrets
- Pre-commit hooks to catch secrets before they are pushed
|
Alternatives:
-
gitleaks
– Similar secret scanning capabilities, TruffleHog has more verified patterns and enterprise features
-
git-secrets
– AWS Labs tool, more limited pattern matching compared to TruffleHog's extensive database
