# Entropy

Entropy is a CLI tool that will **scan your codebase for high entropy lines**, which are often secrets.

## Installation

### From source with Go (preferred)

```bash

go install github.com/EwenQuim/entropy@latest

entropy

# More options

entropy -h

entropy -top 20 -ext go,py,js

entropy -top 5 -ignore-ext min.js,pdf,png,jpg,jpeg,zip,mp4,gif my-folder my-file1 my-file2

```

or in one line

```bash

go run github.com/EwenQuim/entropy@latest

```

### With brew

```bash

brew install ewenquim/repo/entropy

entropy

# More options

entropy -h

entropy -top 20 -ext go,py,js

entropy -top 5 -ignore-ext min.js,_test.go,pdf,png,jpg my-folder my-file1 my-file2

```

### With docker

```bash

docker run --rm -v $(pwd):/data ewenquim/entropy /data

# More options

docker run --rm -v $(pwd):/data ewenquim/entropy -h

docker run --rm -v $(pwd):/data ewenquim/entropy -top 20 -ext go,py,js /data

docker run --rm -v $(pwd):/data ewenquim/entropy -top 5 /data/my-folder /data/my-file

```

The docker image is available on [Docker Hub](https://hub.docker.com/r/ewenquim/entropy).

The `-v` option is used to mount the current directory into the container. The `/data` directory is the default directory where the tool will look for files. **Don't forget to add /data at the end of the command**, otherwise the tool will search inside the container, not your local filesystem.
