Demo
What's new in v3?
TruffleHog v3 is a complete rewrite in Go with many new powerful features.
- We've added over 600 credential detectors that support active verification against their respective APIs.
- We've also added native support for scanning GitHub, GitLab, filesystems, and S3.
What is credential verification?
For every potential credential that is detected, we've painstakingly implemented programatic verification against the API that we think it belongs to. Verification eliminates false positives. For example, the AWS credential detector performs a GetCallerIdentity
API call against the AWS API to verify if an AWS credential is active.
Installation
Several options:
1. Go
go install github.com/trufflesecurity/trufflehog.git@latest
2. Release binaries
3. Docker
Note: Apple M1 hardware users should run with
docker run --platform linux/arm64
for better performance.
Most users
docker run -it -v "$PWD:/pwd" ghcr.io/trufflesecurity/trufflehog:latest github --repo https://github.com/trufflesecurity/test_keys --debug
Apple M1 users
The linux/arm64
image is better to run on the M1 than the amd64 image.
Even better is running the native darwin binary avilable, but there is not container image for that.
docker run --platform linux/arm64 -it -v "$PWD:/pwd" ghcr.io/trufflesecurity/trufflehog:latest github --repo https://github.com/trufflesecurity/test_keys
4. Pip (help wanted)
It's possible to distribute binaries in pip wheels.
Here is an example of a project that does it.
Help with setting up this packaging would be appreciated!
5. Brew (help wanted)
We'd love to distribute via brew and could use your help.
Usage
TruffleHog has a sub-command for each source of data that you may want to scan:
- git
- github
- gitlab
- S3
- filesystem
- file and stdin
Each subcommand can have options that you can see with the -h
flag provided to the sub command:
$ trufflehog git --help
usage: TruffleHog git [<flags>] <uri>
Find credentials in git repositories.
Flags:
--help Show context-sensitive help (also try --help-long and --help-man).
--debug Run in debug mode
--json Output in JSON format.
--concurrency=8 Number of concurrent workers.
--verification Verify the results.
-i, --include_paths=INCLUDE_PATHS
Path to file with newline separated regexes for files to include in scan.
-x, --exclude_paths=EXCLUDE_PATHS
Path to file with newline separated regexes for files to exclude in scan.
--branch=BRANCH Branch to scan.
--allow No-op flag for backwards compat.
--entropy No-op flag for backwards compat.
--regex No-op flag for backwards compat.
Args:
<uri> Git repository URL. https:// or file:// schema expected.
For example, to scan a git
repository, start with
$ trufflehog git https://github.com/trufflesecurity/trufflehog.git

Contributing
Contributions are very welcome! Please see our contribution guidelines first.
We no longer accept contributions to TruffleHog v2, but that code is available in the v2
branch.
Adding new secret detectors
We have published some documentation and tooling to get started on adding new secret detectors. Let's improve detection together!
