# pbsanitize
I needed a tool to safely sanitize secrets and sensitive data before copying to clipboard, so I made this. It automatically detects and redacts things like API keys, tokens, passwords, SSH keys, and other secrets.
## Install
### On macOS
```bash
git clone https://github.com/janpreet/pbsanitize
cd pbsanitize
make
sudo make install
```
### On Linux
First install xsel:
```bash
sudo apt install xsel # Ubuntu/Debian
sudo dnf install xsel # Fedora
```
Then build and install:
```bash
git clone https://github.com/janpreet/pbsanitize
cd pbsanitize
make
sudo make install
```
## Usage
Just pipe any text through it:
```bash
cat config.yml | pbsanitize
git config -l | pbsanitize
echo "my_api_key=secret123" | pbsanitize
```
The sanitized output is automatically copied to your clipboard.
## What it catches
- API keys & secrets
- AWS keys & cloud credentials
- JWT tokens
- GitHub tokens
- Private keys & certificates
- Connection strings
- Email addresses
- Credit card numbers
- Environment variables
- IPs (v4 & v6)
- SSH keys
- OAuth tokens
- Session IDs
- Etc.
