Accidentally committing a secret is one of the most common, and most expensive, security mistakes. The GigAI Secret Scanner reads code, config files,.env files or log snippets you paste and flags anything that looks like a credential: AWS access keys, Stripe and OpenAI keys, GitHub and Slack tokens, Google API keys, private-key blocks, JWTs, database connection strings with passwords, and hard-coded password assignments. Each finding shows a severity, the line number, a masked preview and a short fix hint, and the tool produces a fully redacted copy you can safely paste into a bug report or share with a teammate. Everything runs locally in your browser, the exact place sensitive code should stay, so nothing is ever uploaded. It's a pattern-based heuristic, not a security audit, so it can miss cleverly hidden secrets. Always review the findings yourself.

How to use the secret scanner

  1. 1

    Paste your code or config

    Drop in a .env file, source code, a log snippet or any text. Scanning is instant and happens in your browser.

  2. 2

    Review the findings

    Each potential secret shows its type, severity, line number and a masked preview. Work through the high-severity ones first.

  3. 3

    Fix and rotate

    Move secrets to environment variables or a secrets manager, and rotate anything that was exposed: the fix hint tells you where.

  4. 4

    Share the redacted copy

    Need to share the snippet? Copy the redacted version, which replaces every detected secret with a placeholder.

Why use our secret scanner

Catch leaks before they ship

Run it over a diff, a config or a log paste before you commit, push or file a ticket, the cheapest possible place to catch an exposed key.

Safe to share the result

The redacted copy lets you hand a snippet to a colleague or paste a stack trace publicly without leaking the credentials inside it.

No install, no account

Unlike CLI scanners you have to set up, this is instant in any browser. Paste and read. Nothing to configure.
