Secret Finder v2.0.0 (Codename: "Sherlock")
This release marks a complete architectural overhaul of Secret Finder, elevating it from a simple script to a high-performance static analysis engine. The core logic has been rewritten from the ground up to be faster, more accurate, and more user-friendly.
✨ Highlights
🚀 High-Performance Engine: We've replaced the old keyword search with a powerful, multi-threaded regex engine. Scans are now significantly faster on multi-core systems and far more accurate.
📊 Interactive HTML Reports: Say goodbye to plain text logs! All findings are now presented in a beautiful, self-contained dashboard with interactive charts, a sortable findings table, and in-line code previews.
🎯 High-Precision Patterns: Added over 40 regex patterns to detect a wide range of secrets—from AWS keys and GitHub tokens to private keys and database URIs—drastically reducing false positives.
🎚️ Severity Classification: Findings are now ranked as Critical, High, Medium, or Low, allowing you to prioritize and address the most critical risks first.
This update also includes numerous bug fixes and stability improvements for a more reliable scanning experience.
