Your AI wrote real secrets directly into your code.

AI coding tools hallucinate and hardcode API keys, database passwords, and tokens. Paste your code. 60+ patterns + entropy analysis. Runs in your browser — nothing leaves your device.

How it works

Secret detection in seconds.

01

Paste your code

Works with any language — TypeScript, Python, Go, YAML, .env files, shell scripts. Copy your file, your PR diff, or just the suspicious function.

02

Two-layer detection

60+ named patterns match known secret formats (AWS keys, GitHub tokens, Stripe keys, database URLs). Shannon entropy catches anything the patterns miss.

03

Revoke and fix

Each finding includes which service it belongs to, a redacted preview, and a direct link to revoke the credential before attackers find it.

Why this matters

AI tools leak secrets at scale.

Scanning runs entirely in your browser

Your code never leaves your device. SecretScan is a client-side JavaScript app — there is no server receiving your code, no logs, no telemetry on your scan content. You can even download it and run it offline. This is by design: we're a security tool. You should be able to verify our claims.
