    KeyLeak Detector – Scan websites for exposed API keys and secrets▲30

    I built this after seeing multiple teams accidentally ship API keys in their frontend code. The problem: Modern web development moves fast. You're vibe-coding, shipping features, and suddenly your AWS keys are sitting in a tag visible to anyone who opens DevTools. I've personally witnessed this happen to at least 3-4 production apps in the past year alone. KeyLeak Detector runs through your site (headless browser + network interception) and checks for 50+ types of leaked secrets: AWS/Google keys, Stripe tokens, database connection strings, LLM API keys (OpenAI, Claude, etc.), JWT…

    EnvKey 2.0 – End-To-End Encrypted Environments (now open source)▲225

    Hey HN, I'm so happy to finally show you all this release after years of hard work. I posted the first version of EnvKey to HN back in 2017 (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=15330757), then went through YC in W18 (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=16569534). EnvKey is an end-to-end encrypted configuration and secrets manager. It protects your organization's API keys, encryption keys, credentials, and other secrets, and makes it easy to run servers, scripts, tests, and everything else with the latest config. It also helps you avoid duplication in your…

    Local Privacy Firewall-blocks PII and secrets before ChatGPT sees them▲111

    OP here. I built this because I recently caught myself almost pasting a block of logs containing AWS keys into Claude. The Problem: I need the reasoning capabilities of cloud models (GPT/Claude/Gemini), but I can't trust myself not to accidentally leak PII or secrets. The Solution: A Chrome extension that acts as a local middleware. It intercepts the prompt and runs a local BERT model (via a Python FastAPI backend) to scrub names, emails, and keys before the request leaves the browser. A few notes up front (to set expectations clearly): Everything runs 100% locally. Regex detection…

    Secret Sanitizer▲2

    I kept pasting code with hardcoded API keys, database credentials, and auth tokens into ChatGPT while debugging. Copy a failing function, paste it into AI, and realise your AWS secret key or Stripe token was right there in the snippet. So I built (with some help from Claude) a simple Chrome extension that intercepts the paste, detects secrets using local regex, and replaces them with [MASKED] before they reach the chat. Originals stay in a local AES-256 encrypted vault for unmasking. No servers. No network requests. No tracking. ~41 KB, zero dependencies. Don't take my word for it: 'grep -r…
