• Search all commits on all branches in topological order
• Regex/Entropy checks

go get -u github.com/zricethezav/gitleaks

./gitleaks {git url}

This will clone the target {git url} and run a diff on all commits. A report will be output to {repo_name}.json Gitleaks scans all lines of all commit diffs and checks if there are any regular expression matches. The regexs are defined in main.go. For example if a line in a commit diff like AWS_KEY='AKAI...' exists then the value after the assignment operator will be checked for entropy. If the value is above a certain entropy threshold then we assume that the line contains a key/secret. Work largely based on https://people.eecs.berkeley.edu/~rohanpadhye/files/key_leaks-msr15.pdf

• Specify a target branch
• Support for custom regex
• Filter regex
