Building a Secret Scanner in Julia: A GitLeaks Alternative
- A new tool called Julia aims to provide an alternative to GitLeaks for scanning secrets, passwords, and API key leaks.
- Julia offers more advanced features like specifying custom regex pattern lists, producing proper JSON output for automation, and backend use.
- The tool also allows scanning directories, GitHub repositories directly, and loading custom patterns from a YAML file.
- The project structure includes the use of Docker, Julia, and nfpm for creating DEB and RPM packages.
- A Makefile is used for handling Docker builds, Docker container operations, pushing images to Docker Hub, and creating GitHub releases.
- GitHub CLI is utilized for tagging repositories, uploading releases, and creating GitHub releases with version numbers like v1.0.0.
- Testing is done by running the script in a Docker container against a test repository that contains secret leaks.
- A GitHub pipeline is set up for automated CI/CD workflows using Docker, Make, GitHub Actions, and Makefile commands.
- Julia, Docker, and GitHub tools simplify the process of building, testing, packaging, and deploying projects, making it suitable for everyday tasks.
