@how2validate/how2validate@0.0.2-beta.37
A CLI tool to validate secrets for different services.
How2Validate
How2Validate is a security-focused tool designed to validate sensitive secrets by querying official secret provider endpoints. It provides real-time feedback on the authenticity of the credentials, ensuring that the secrets are valid.
Why How2Validate?
The need for How2Validate arises from the growing concern of exposing sensitive information in various applications, repositories, and environments. Leaked API keys, invalid credentials, and misconfigured secrets can lead to significant security vulnerabilities. How2Validate helps mitigate these risks by verifying secrets directly with the official providers before they are used in any system.
Features
- Validate API keys, passwords, and sensitive information: It interacts with official provider authentication endpoints to ensure the authenticity of the secrets.
- Cross-platform support: Packages available for JavaScript, Python, and Docker environments.
- Easy to use: Simplifies secret validation with straightforward commands and functions.
- Real-time feedback: Instantly know the status of your secrets — whether they are valid or not.
How It Works
How2Validate utilizes the official authentication endpoints provided by different service providers (like NPM, GitHub, Snyk, etc.) to validate secrets such as API keys, tokens, and other sensitive data. By querying these trusted endpoints, How2Validate ensures that the secrets are correct and not expired or invalid.
For every provider, How2Validate relies on well-maintained libraries and packages suggested by those providers to handle the authentication process.
