Secrets Patterns Database is an extensive open-source collection designed for detecting secrets such as API keys, passwords, and tokens using regular expressions. It features over 1600 curated and tested regex patterns that are format-agnostic, allowing integration with various secret detection tools like TruffleHog and Gitleaks. The database emphasizes security by validating regex patterns against ReDoS attacks and categorizing them based on confidence levels, while also welcoming community contributions for ongoing enhancement.
