🗄️ Secrets Patterns Database 🗄️

The largest open-source database for detecting secrets, API keys, passwords, tokens, and more. Use secrets-patterns-db to feed your secret scanning engine with regex patterns for identifying secrets.

🚀 Features

❔ Why?

There are limited resources online for Regular Expressions patterns for secrets. TruffleHog offers ~700 as built-in rules. GitLeaks offers ~60 rules. While it's a good start, it's not enough. There's a lot of work that needs to be done for maintenance and keeping up with new secrets patterns.

I have collected and curated Regular Expressions Patterns for Secrets, API Tokens, Keys, and Passwords. I'm open-sourcing the database I built (Secrets-Patterns-DB), and hope that security teams contribute to it!

The Secrets-Patterns-DB contains over 1600 Regular Expressions. I have also written scripts to validate Regexes against ReDoS attacks, and CI jobs to load and validate Regexes, and I also manually cleaned-up invalid ones.

It's in Beta. There’s a lot of room for improvement on the project. I'm looking forward to your Pull Requests and Issues on Github to enhance Secrets-Patterns-DB for everyone.

Are you planning to enhance your secrets detection in your AppSec program? Please take some time to contribute to the project! :pray:
