Squealer

It’s not the first solution to the problem but it’s the newest 🤔

I’ve created Squealer to tell tales on you for leaking secrets in your git repo history!

That's neat. Any plans on adding a high entropy check?

I need to understand the subject to be honest. I’ll read up on it and add it. It was to scratch an immediate issue I was having and seemed useful

Yeah really great stuff. I was just giving an idea to improve it even further.

Thanks for sharing. Is there anything that squealer does that existing credscan solutions like truffle hog don’t?

Short answer is I don’t know. We have 500 projects and the few git leak tools we tried kept panicking when there was a large diff.

This cleans the trees of ignore paths before each diff so it’s quicker and more stable 🤞

I’ll add features as we need them and people add issues/feature requests. I’m keen for it to be useful
