 # go-secret-hunter
-A high-speed scanner for detecting leaked secrets in source code.
+
+A high-performance Go-based scanner that detects leaked secrets, API keys, tokens, and credentials in source code and Git history. Built for speed with concurrent workers, configurable patterns, and CI/CD integration through SARIF output.
+
+## Features
+
+- 🔍 **Multi-pattern Detection**: Pre-configured patterns for AWS keys, GitHub tokens, API keys, private keys, and more
+- 🧮 **Entropy Analysis**: Advanced Shannon entropy calculations to detect high-entropy strings
+- ⚡ **Concurrent Scanning**: Worker pool architecture for fast parallel file processing
+- 📜 **Git History**: Deep scanning of Git repository history using go-git
+- 🎯 **Low False Positives**: Entropy thresholds and pattern validation reduce noise
+- 🚫 **Allowlisting**: Support for allowlisted secrets via configuration or files
+- 📁 **Ignore Patterns**: Flexible file and directory exclusion (node_modules, vendor, etc.)
+- 📊 **Multiple Output Formats**: Text, JSON, and SARIF for CI/CD integration
+- ⚙️ **Configurable**: YAML/JSON configuration files with custom pattern support
+- 🚀 **CI/CD Ready**: SARIF output integrates with GitHub Security, Azure DevOps, and more
+
+## Installation
+
+### Build from Source
+
+```bash
+git clone https://github.com/BaseMax/go-secret-hunter.git
+cd go-secret-hunter
+go build -o secret-hunter ./cmd/secret-hunter
+```
+
+### Using Go Install
+
+```bash
+go install github.com/BaseMax/go-secret-hunter/cmd/secret-hunter@latest
+```
+
+## Quick Start
+
+### Basic Scan
+
+Scan current directory for secrets:
+
+```bash
+secret-hunter
+```
+
+### Scan Specific Paths

+
+```bash
+secret-hunter --format=sarif --output=secrets-report.sarif
+```
+
+### Using Configuration File
+
+```bash
+# Generate example config
+secret-hunter --generate-config=config.yaml
+
+# Run with config
+secret-hunter --config=config.yaml
+```
+
+## Command-Line Options
+
+| Flag | Description | Default |
+|------|-------------|---------|
+| `--config` | Path to configuration file (YAML or JSON) | - |
+| `--paths` | Comma-separated paths to scan | `.` |
+| `--format` | Output format: text, json, sarif | `text` |
+| `--output` | Output file (default: stdout) | - |
+| `--workers` | Number of concurrent workers | `4` |
+| `--verbose` | Verbose output | `false` |
+| `--git` | Include Git history scanning | `false` |
+| `--allowlist` | Path to allowlist file | - |
+| `--version` | Show version | - |
+| `--generate-config` | Generate example config file | - |
+
+## Configuration File
+
+Example `config.yaml`:
+
+```yaml
+paths:
+  - .
+  - src/
+include_git: true
+max_depth: -1
+workers: 8
+
+ignore_patterns:
+  - node_modules/
+  - .git/
+  - vendor/
+  - '*.min.js'
+  - '*.lock'
+  - '*.log'
+
+allowed_secrets:
+  - "EXAMPLE_NOT_A_REAL_SECRET"
+
+file_extensions:
+  - .go
+  - .py
+  - .js
+  - .ts
+  - .java
+  - .env
+  - .yaml
+  - .json
+
+output_format: sarif
+output_file: secrets-report.sarif
+verbose: true
+
+custom_patterns:
+  - name: Custom API Key
+    pattern: 'custom_api_key[:=]\s*[''"]?([a-zA-Z0-9]{32})[''"]?'
+    description: Custom API Key Pattern
+    entropy: 3.5
+```
+
+## Detected Secret Types
+
+### Built-in Patterns
+
+- AWS Access Keys (AKIA...)
+- AWS Secret Keys
+- GitHub Tokens (ghp_...)
+- GitHub OAuth Tokens
+- Google API Keys (AIza...)
+- Google OAuth Client IDs
+- Slack Tokens (xox...)
+- Slack Webhooks
+- Stripe API Keys
+- Heroku API Keys
+- Twilio API Keys
+- NPM Tokens
+- PyPI Tokens
+- JWT Tokens
+- Private Keys (RSA, SSH, PGP)
+- Azure Client Secrets
+- Docker Auth Tokens
+- MailChimp API Keys
+- MailGun API Keys
+- Generic API Keys
+- Generic Secrets/Passwords
+- Generic Tokens
+
+### Custom Patterns
+
+Add your own patterns in the configuration file:
+
+```yaml
+custom_patterns:
+  - name: My Custom Secret
+    pattern: 'my_secret[:=]\s*[''"]?([a-zA-Z0-9]{20,})[''"]?'
+    description: Organization-specific secret pattern
+    entropy: 4.0  # Minimum entropy (0 = no entropy check)
+```
+
+## Entropy Analysis
+
+The scanner uses Shannon entropy to detect high-entropy strings that may be secrets:
+
+- **Entropy Score**: Calculated as bits per character (0-8 scale)
+- **Thresholds**: Configurable per pattern
+- **False Positive Reduction**: Filters repeated patterns ("aaaa", "1111")
+
+## Allowlisting
+
+### Via Configuration File
+
+```yaml
+allowed_secrets:
+  - "NOT_A_REAL_SECRET"
+  - "EXAMPLE_KEY_FOR_TESTS"
+```
+
+### Via Allowlist File
+
+Create a file with one entry per line:
+
+```
+# allowlist.txt
+NOT_A_REAL_SECRET
+EXAMPLE_KEY_FOR_TESTS
+test_api_key_12345
+```
+
+Use it:
+
+```bash
+secret-hunter --allowlist=allowlist.txt
+```
+
+## Output Formats
+
+### Text (Human-Readable)
+
+```
+Found 3 potential secret(s):
+
+[1] AWS Access Key
+    File: src/config.go:15:10
+    Description: AWS Access Key ID
+    Match: AKIAIOSFODNN7EXAMPLE
+    Entropy: 3.68
+    Context: awsKey := "AKIAIOSFODNN7EXAMPLE"
+```
+
+### JSON
+
+```json
+[
+  {
+    "type": "AWS Access Key",
+    "description": "AWS Access Key ID",
+    "file": "src/config.go",
+    "line": 15,
+    "column": 10,
+    "match": "AKIAIOSFODNN7EXAMPLE",
+    "context": "awsKey := \"AKIAIOSFODNN7EXAMPLE\"",
+    "entropy": 3.68
+  }
+]
+```
+
+### SARIF (Static Analysis Results Interchange Format)
+
+Integrates with:
+- GitHub Code Scanning
+- Azure DevOps Security
+- GitLab Security Dashboard
+- Jenkins
+- Many other CI/CD tools
+
+Example usage with GitHub Actions:
+
+```yaml
+- name: Run Secret Scanner
+  run: secret-hunter --format=sarif --output=secrets.sarif
+
+- name: Upload SARIF
+  uses: github/codeql-action/upload-sarif@v2
+  with:
+    sarif_file: secrets.sarif
+```
+
+## CI/CD Integration
+
+### GitHub Actions
+
+```yaml
+name: Secret Scanning
+on: [push, pull_request]
+
+jobs:
+  scan:
+    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
+    steps:
+      - uses: actions/checkout@v3
+        with:
+          fetch-depth: 0  # Get full history for Git scanning
+      
+      - name: Set up Go
+        uses: actions/setup-go@v4
+        with:
+          go-version: '1.21'
+      
+      - name: Install Secret Hunter
+        run: go install github.com/BaseMax/go-secret-hunter/cmd/secret-hunter@latest
+      
+      - name: Scan for Secrets
+        run: secret-hunter --git --format=sarif --output=secrets.sarif
+      
+      - name: Upload Results
+        uses: github/codeql-action/upload-sarif@v2
+        if: always()
+        with:
+          sarif_file: secrets.sarif
+```
+
+### GitLab CI
+
+```yaml
+secret_scan:
+  stage: security
+  image: golang:1.21
+  script:
+    - go install github.com/BaseMax/go-secret-hunter/cmd/secret-hunter@latest
+    - secret-hunter --git --format=json --output=secrets.json
+  artifacts:
+    reports:
+      secret_detection: secrets.json
+```
+
+## Performance
+
+- **Concurrent Workers**: Adjustable worker pool (default: 4)
+- **Binary Detection**: Automatically skips binary files
+- **Smart Filtering**: Ignore patterns reduce unnecessary scans
+- **Efficient Git**: Uses go-git for optimized repository traversal
+
+Example performance:
+- ~1000 files/second on typical hardware
+- Full Git history scan: depends on repository size
+- Memory usage: ~50-100MB for most projects
+
+## Best Practices
+
+1. **Use Allowlisting Carefully**: Only allowlist confirmed false positives
+2. **Scan Git History**: Use `--git` flag to catch historical leaks
+3. **CI/CD Integration**: Run on every commit and PR
+4. **Configure Ignores**: Exclude build artifacts, dependencies
+5. **Custom Patterns**: Add organization-specific secret patterns
+6. **Review Findings**: Manually verify high-priority findings
+7. **Rotate Secrets**: Immediately rotate any exposed credentials
+
+## Exit Codes
+
+- `0`: No secrets found
+- `1`: Secrets found or error occurred
+
+## Development
+
+### Build
+
+```bash
+go build -o secret-hunter ./cmd/secret-hunter
+```
+
+### Run Tests
+
+```bash
+go test ./...
+```
+
+### Add Custom Patterns
+
+Edit `internal/patterns/patterns.go` to add new built-in patterns.
