Whether you're in the pre-deployment phase or need ongoing post-deployment security, this tool has you covered.\n\n\u003e Note - You can find a powerpoint presentation [here](https://github.com/NotSooShariff/secrets-scanning-engine/blob/main/assets/Watchdog%20Project%20Presentation.pdf) if you're looking for more of just a high level overview\n\n## Features\n\n- **Active Scanning**: A background script runs continuously to actively scan your local machine for any potential leaks of sensitive information pre-deployment.\n- **Chrome Extension**: The included Chrome extension helps detect exposed secrets within your source code, providing an added layer of security post-deployment.\n- **Intuitive Dashboard**: The GUI/dashboard offers real-time alerts and monitoring, ensuring you stay informed about any security risks.\n\n## Technologies Used\n- Rust \n- NextJS\n- Electron\n- Manifest V2\n\n## Get our Desktop App \n\nHead over to the [releases section](https://github.com/NotSooShariff/secrets-scanning-engine/releases) and download the files from the latest release. Then unzip the package and run the `.exe` file. Voila! sit back and let our application handle all the heavy lifting.\n\n## Get our Browser Extension\n\nDue to chrome's change in policies since Chrome 80, Extensions can no longer directly be installed through CRX files. Unfortunately for us, this does add a couple of steps by having to download our extension unpacked.\n\nThe steps can be found below:\n1. Clone our repository by running the following command:\n   ```\n   git clone https://github.com/NotSooShariff/secrets-scanning-engine.git\n   ```\n2. Headover to your favourite chromium browser and go to the extensions setting. You can do this by typing the following in your URL bar:\n   ```\n   \u003c!-- For Google Chrome --\u003e\n    chrome://extensions/ \n   ```\n   ```\n   \u003c!-- For Brave --\u003e\n    brave://extensions/ \n   ```\n3. Look for a toggle to enable `developer mode`\n   \n   \u003c!-- ![alt text](assets/image2.png) --\u003e\n   \n4. You should now be able to load unpacked extensions from your system. \n5. Click on the `load unpacked` option on the top left and select the `browser-extension` folder from within our repository that you just cloned and your extension will be added successfully under the name of **\"Watchdog\"**\n\n**Note** - Please be sure to use a Chromium based browser for the best experience. This includes browsers like:\n- Chrome \n- Brave \n- Opera\n- Edge \n- Vivaldi \n\n\n","project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fnotsooshariff%2Fsecrets-scanning-engine","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Fnotsooshariff%2Fsecrets-scanning-engine","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fnotsooshariff%2Fsecrets-scanning-engine/lists"}
