Squealer

Telling tales on you for leaking secrets!

Go Report Card Github Release GitHub All Releases

Squealer scans a git repository or filesystem for secrets that are being leaked deep within the commit history.

Squealer

The built-in configuration includes the following checks;

Sometimes we have secrets committed to our projects, generally, we can invalidate them and move on. If Squealer is telling tales about a secret that you are aware of and has been mitigated, you can use the exception rule found in the output to register it as ignored.

Installation

curl -s "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/owenrumney/squealer/main/scripts/install.sh" | bash

Usage

Squealer is intended to be run either locally or as part of a CI process.

Config breakdown

The config file is made up of the rules, ignore_prefixes, ignore_extensions and exceptions.

rules

Rules define the regular expression that is used to detect the secret. Requires a description for posterity.

ignore_paths

Ignore paths are folders that you don't want to look ing - generally vendor and the like.

ignore_extensions

Ignore extensions that have these file types that won't be scanned. Binaries are automatically ignored.

exceptions

Exceptions are the entries that you've already handled and don't want to be reported any more.

It's worth noting that these are known because they're examples in the documentation for tfsec - I can add them to the config.yaml as exclusions y using the Exclude rule

Using as a library

Squealer can be used for scanning a specific string using either the default config or by passing your own file in.

Adding the library

go get -u github.com/owenrumney/squealer

Using as a library

Git and Directory Scanning

package main

import (
    "fmt"

    "github.com/owenrumney/squealer/pkg/squealer"
    "github.com/owenrumney/squealer/pkg/config"
)

func main() {

    // create a new scanner (optionally load your own config in)
    scanner, err :=  squealer.New(
        squealer.OptionWithConfig(config.DefaultConfig()), // if not supplied , config.DefaultConfig() used
        squealer.OptionRedactedSecrets(true), // defaults to true, secrets in output redacted
        squealer.OptionNoGitScan(false), // Treat Directories with .git in them as Directories, defaults to false
        squealer.OptionWithBasePath("."), // The path to scan, default is '.'
        squealer.OptionWithFromHash(""), // Specify the starting hash for the scan, useful for PRs
        squealer.OptionWithToHash(""), // Specify the hash to stop scanning, useful for PRs scanning
        squealer.OptionWithScanEverything(false), // Scan everything in every branch, defaults to only the current branch
        squealer.OptionWithCommitListFile(""), // a file of commits that you want to explicitly scan in a text file.
    )

    transgressions, err := scanner.Scan()
    if err != nil {
        panic(err)
    }

    for _, t := range transgressions {
        fmt.Printf("%s[%d]\n", t.Filename, t.LineNo)
    }
}

String Scanning

package main

import (
    "fmt"

    "github.com/owenrumney/squealer/pkg/squealer"
)

func main() {

  // create a new scanner (optionally load your own config in)
    scanner := squealer.NewStringScanner()
    testString := `password = "superSecretPassword"`

  // scan the string and if a transgression is found, report it.
    if result := scanner.Scan(testString); result.TransgressionFound {
        fmt.Printf("found an issue in [%s]. %s\n", testString, result.Description)
    }
}
