Find, verify, and analyze leaked credentials
What it does
TruffleHog scans code repositories and other digital sources to find exposed passwords, API keys, and other sensitive login credentials that should never have been made public. It goes beyond just finding these secrets — it also verifies whether they are still active and exploitable, helping teams understand the real risk they face.
Why it matters for PMs
A single leaked API key or database password can lead to a costly data breach, regulatory fines, or loss of customer trust — TruffleHog helps companies catch these mistakes before attackers do. With 24,600 stars and strong community adoption, this tool reflects a fast-growing market need as security becomes a non-negotiable part of any software product strategy.
