CredSweeper is a tool to detect credentials in any directories or files. CredSweeper could help users to detect unwanted exposure of credentials (such as personal information, token, passwords, api keys and etc) in advance. By scanning lines, filtering, and using AI model as option, CredSweeper reports lines with possible credentials, where the line is, and expected type of the credential as a result.
Full documentation can be found here: https://credsweeper.readthedocs.io/
- Python 3.7, 3.8, 3.9
Details here.
pip install credsweeper[ml]
Get all argument list:
python -m credsweeper --help
Run CredSweeper:
python -m credsweeper --ml_validation --path tests/samples/password --save-json output.json
To check JSON file run:
cat output.json
[
{
"rule": "Password",
"severity": "medium",
"line_data_list": [
{
"line": "password = \"cackle!\"",
"line_num": 1,
"path": "tests/samples/password",
"entropy_validation": false
}
],
"api_validation": "NOT_AVAILABLE",
"ml_validation": "VALIDATED_KEY"
}
]
To run all tests:
python -m pytest --cov=credsweeper --cov-report=term-missing -s tests/
To run only tests independent from external api:
python -m pytest -m "not api_validation" --cov=credsweeper --cov-report=term-missing -s tests/
We have a dataset for testing credential scanners that called CredData. If you want to test CredSweeper with this dataset please check here.
