# Secrets Detection

> Scan code repositories, commit histories, and container images for hardcoded API keys, passwords, and tokens.

Prevent credential leakage by identifying hardcoded secrets before they are published to remote repositories.

***

## Detected Secret Types

* Cloud Credentials: AWS Access Keys, GCP Service Account JSONs, Azure Tenant Secrets.
* SaaS & API Tokens: Slack Webhooks, GitHub Personal Access Tokens, Stripe API Keys, OpenAI API Keys.
* Cryptographic Artifacts: SSH Private Keys (`id_rsa`), PGP keys, TLS certificates.
* Database Connection Strings: MongoDB, PostgreSQL, MySQL URIs with embedded passwords.

### Pre-Commit & CI Integration

Runs as a pre-commit hook or GitHub Action to block commits containing high-entropy secrets.
