simple-detect-secrets

simple-detect-secrets tries to find secrets (passwords, auth tokens) in a code base.

Simply run uvx simple-detect-secrets.

Developing

uv sync --locked
uv run simple-detect-secrets scan
uv run pytest tests

Build the source distribution and wheel with uv build. Install the optional word-list support with uv sync --extra word_list.

Caveats

This is not meant to be a sure-fire solution to prevent secrets from entering the codebase. Only proper developer education can truly do that. This pre-commit hook merely implements several heuristics to try and prevent obvious cases of committing secrets.

Things that won't be prevented

  • Multi-line secrets
  • Default passwords that don't trigger the KeywordDetector (e.g. login = "hunter2")

Notes

This is an old fork of Yelp's detect-secrets.

This is a command line tool:

  • never calls the network
  • doesn't obfuscate/hash the secrets that it finds
  • doesn't have plugins
