Detects hardcoded secrets in .NET source code and git history, reporting only their locations without revealing values.
Hardcoded secrets pose a significant security risk, often persisting in git history even after removal from active code. Secrets Checker is a specialized .NET-first tool that meticulously scans both source files and complete git history for sensitive information like API keys, connection strings, and cloud credentials. Uniquely, it is architecturally designed to *never* output raw secret values, reporting only their locations and thereby preventing secondary exposure. Operating locally with no telemetry or network activity, it ensures privacy and enhances security across development workflows and CI/CD pipelines.
