Implementing Analyzers

Defining the Permissions

Permissions can be defined in:

• lower snake case as permission_name:access_level
• kebab case as permission-name:read
• dot notation as permission.name:read

The Permissions are initially defined as a yaml file.

At the top of the analyzer implementation you specify the go generate command.

You can install the generator with go install github.com/trufflesecurity/trufflehog/v3/pkg/analyzer/generate_permissions.

Then you can run go generate ./... to generate the Permission types for the analyzer.

The generated Permission types are to be used in the AnalyzerResult struct when defining the Permissions and in your code.
