Secrets… Secrets… Secrets… Every company has them, every hacker wants to know them.

TruffleHog is a lightweight tool used to scan for secrets, such as API keys, passwords, or other sensitive information, in code repositories.

While TruffleHog is traditionally used in CI/CD pipelines as part of DevSecOps practices, this project is aimed at those who are just getting started with security scanning. The focus will be on how to use TruffleHog on a single static repo.

You’ll need a few things like Docker and Basic Bash commands knowledge but I’ll walk you through it all…
