credential-detector

Credential-Detector is a command-line tool designed to scan project files for hard-coded credentials, including passwords, API keys, and private keys that may have been inadvertently embedded in source code. It supports multiple file types, such as Go, JSON, YAML, and various others, and offers highly configurable scanning options to identify suspicious patterns and variable names while excluding obvious test data. Additionally, it features a web application for enhanced usability and can be integrated as a library within other Go applications.
