# :question: FAQ

+ All I see is `🐷🔑🐷  TruffleHog. Unearth your secrets. 🐷🔑🐷` and the program exits, what gives?
  + That means no secrets were detected
+ Why is the scan is taking a long time when I scan a GitHub org
  + Unauthenticated GitHub scans have rate limits. To improve your rate limits, include the `--token` flag with a personal access token
+ It says a private key was verified, what does that mean?
  + Check out our Driftwood blog post to learn how to do this, in short we've confirmed the key can be used live for SSH or SSL [Blog post](https://trufflesecurity.com/blog/driftwood-know-if-private-keys-are-sensitive/)
+ Is there an easy way to ignore specific secrets?
  + If the scanned source [supports line numbers](https://github.com/trufflesecurity/trufflehog/blob/d6375ba92172fd830abb4247cca15e3176448c5d/pkg/engine/engine.go#L358-L365), then you can add a `trufflehog:ignore` comment on the line containing the secret to ignore that secrets. 


# :newspaper: What's new in v3?

TruffleHog v3 is a complete rewrite in Go with many new powerful features.

- We've **added over 700 credential detectors that support active verification against their respective APIs**.
- We've also added native **support for scanning GitHub, GitLab, filesystems, S3, GCS and Circle CI**.
- **Instantly verify private keys** against millions of github users and **billions** of TLS certificates using our [Driftwood](https://trufflesecurity.com/blog/driftwood) technology.
- Scan binaries and other file formats
- Available as a GitHub Action and a pre-commit hook


## What is credential verification?
For every potential credential that is detected, we've painstakingly implemented programmatic verification against the API that we think it belongs to. Verification eliminates false positives. For example, the [AWS credential detector](pkg/detectors/aws/aws.go) performs a `GetCallerIdentity` API call against the AWS API to verify if an AWS credential is active.

# :memo: Usage

TruffleHog has a sub-command for each source of data that you may want to scan:

- git
- github
- gitlab
- docker
- S3
- filesystem (files and directories)
- syslog
- circleci
- GCS (Google Cloud Storage)
- stdin (coming soon)

Each subcommand can have options that you can see with the `--help` flag provided to the sub command:

```
$ trufflehog git --help
usage: TruffleHog git [<flags>] <uri>

Find credentials in git repositories.

Flags:
      --help                     Show context-sensitive help (also try --help-long and --help-man).
      --debug                    Run in debug mode.
      --trace                    Run in trace mode.
      --profile                  Enables profiling and sets a pprof and fgprof server on :18066.
  -j, --json                     Output in JSON format.
      --json-legacy              Use the pre-v3.0 JSON format. Only works with git, gitlab, and github sources.
      --concurrency=10           Number of concurrent workers.
      --no-verification          Don't verify the results.
      --only-verified            Only output verified results.
      --filter-unverified        Only output first unverified result per chunk per detector if there are more than one results.
      --config=CONFIG            Path to configuration file.
      --print-avg-detector-time  Print the average time spent on each detector.
      --no-update                Don't check for updates.
      --fail                     Exit with code 183 if results are found.
      --version                  Show application version.

Args:
  <uri>  Git repository URL. https://, file://, or ssh:// schema expected.
```

For example, to scan a  `git` repository, start with

```
$ trufflehog git https://github.com/trufflesecurity/trufflehog.git
```

## S3 

The S3 source supports assuming IAM roles for scanning in addition to IAM users. This makes it easier for users to scan multiple AWS accounts without needing to rely on hardcoded credentials for each account.

The IAM identity that TruffleHog uses initially will need to have `AssumeRole` privileges as a principal in the [trust policy](https://aws.amazon.com/blogs/security/how-to-use-trust-policies-with-iam-roles/) of each IAM role to assume.

To scan a specific bucket using locally set credentials or instance metadata if on an EC2 instance:

```bash
trufflehog s3 --bucket=<bucket-name>
```

To scan a specific bucket using an assumed role:

```bash
trufflehog s3 --bucket=<bucket-name> --role-arn=<iam-role-arn>
```

Multiple roles can be passed as separate arguments. The following command will attempt to scan every bucket each role has permissions to list in the S3 API:

```bash
trufflehog s3 --role-arn=<iam-role-arn-1> --role-arn=<iam-role-arn-2>
```

Exit Codes:
- 0: No errors and no results were found.
- 1: An error was encountered. Sources may not have completed scans.
- 183: No errors were encountered, but results were found. Will only be returned if `--fail` flag is used.

# :octocat: TruffleHog Github Action

```yaml
- name: TruffleHog
  uses: trufflesecurity/trufflehog@main
  with:
    # Repository path
    path:
    # Start scanning from here (usually main branch).
    base:
    # Scan commits until here (usually dev branch).
    head: # optional
    # Extra args to be passed to the trufflehog cli.
    extra_args: --debug --only-verified
```

The TruffleHog OSS Github Action can be used to scan a range of commits for leaked credentials. The action will fail if
any results are found.

For example, to scan the contents of pull requests you could use the following workflow:
```yaml
name: TruffleHog Secrets Scan
on: [pull_request]
jobs:
  TruffleHog:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    steps:
      - name: Checkout code
        uses: actions/checkout@v3
        with:
          fetch-depth: 0
      - name: TruffleHog OSS
        uses: trufflesecurity/trufflehog@main
        with:
          path: ./
          base: ${{ github.event.repository.default_branch }}
          head: HEAD
          extra_args: --debug --only-verified
```

# Pre-commit Hook

Trufflehog can be used in a pre-commit hook to prevent credentials from leaking before they ever leave your computer.
An example `.pre-commit-config.yaml` is provided (see [pre-commit.com](https://pre-commit.com/) for installation).

```yaml
repos:
- repo: local
  hooks:
    - id: trufflehog
      name: TruffleHog
      description: Detect secrets in your data.
      entry: bash -c 'trufflehog git file://. --since-commit HEAD --only-verified --fail'
      # For running trufflehog in docker, use the following entry instead:
      # entry: bash -c 'docker run --rm -v "$(pwd):/workdir" -i --rm trufflesecurity/trufflehog:latest git file:///workdir --since-commit HEAD --only-verified --fail'
      language: system
      stages: ["commit", "push"]
```

# Regex Detector (alpha)

Trufflehog supports detection and verification of custom regular expressions.
For detection, at least one **regular expression** and **keyword** is required.
A **keyword** is a fixed literal string identifier that appears in or around
the regex to be detected. To allow maximum flexibility for verification, a
webhook is used containing the regular expression matches.

Trufflehog will send a JSON POST request containing the regex matches to a
configured webhook endpoint. If the endpoint responds with a `200 OK` response
status code, the secret is considered verified.

**NB:** This feature is alpha and subject to change.

## Regex Detector Example

```yaml
# config.yaml
detectors:
- name: hog detector
  keywords:
  - hog
  regex:
    adjective: hogs are (\S+)
  verify:
  - endpoint: http://localhost:8000/
    # unsafe must be set if the endpoint is HTTP
    unsafe: true
    headers:
    - 'Authorization: super secret authorization header'
```

```
$ trufflehog filesystem /tmp --config config.yaml --only-verified
🐷🔑🐷  TruffleHog. Unearth your secrets. 🐷🔑🐷

Found verified result 🐷🔑
Detector Type: CustomRegex
Decoder Type: PLAIN
Raw result: hogs are cool
File: /tmp/hog-facts.txt
```

## Verification Server Example (Python)

Unless you run a verification server, secrets found by the custom regex
detector will be unverified. Here is an example Python implementation of a
verification server for the above `config.yaml` file.

```python
import json
from http.server import BaseHTTPRequestHandler, HTTPServer

AUTH_HEADER = 'super secret authorization header'


class Verifier(BaseHTTPRequestHandler):
    def do_GET(self):
        self.send_response(405)
        self.end_headers()

    def do_POST(self):
        try:
            if self.headers['Authorization'] != AUTH_HEADER:
                self.send_response(401)
                self.end_headers()
                return

            # read the body
            length = int(self.headers['Content-Length'])
            request = json.loads(self.rfile.read(length))
            self.log_message("%s", request)

            # check the match
            if request['hog detector']['adjective'][-1] == 'cool':
                self.send_response(200)
                self.end_headers()
            else:
                # any other response besides 200
                self.send_response(406)
                self.end_headers()
        except Exception:
            self.send_response(400)
            self.end_headers()


with HTTPServer(('', 8000), Verifier) as server:
    try:
        server.serve_forever()
    except KeyboardInterrupt:
        pass
```
