SecretSentinel

Detect hardcoded secrets in VS Code before you commit them

What it does

SecretSentinel scans your code in real-time and flags hardcoded API keys, passwords and credentials before you commit them. Unlike GitHub's secret scanning which catches leaks after you push, this stops them at the source — your editor. Uses Shannon entropy scoring to catch secrets that don't match any known pattern. Also scans git history, comparesenv files, and generates security reports. Free. Works offline. Your code never leaves your machine.

    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…
