Secret Scanner: Find Exposed API Keys & Credentials in Code | Nurbak

SECRET SCANNER

Find exposed secrets in your code

Hardcoded API keys, database passwords and tokens are a top cause of breaches. Nurbak's secret scanner finds them in your repository, including secrets left behind in git history. Free scan to start.

Create account and connect GitHub

We never store your code. We only write when you ask for a fix PR.

Scans git history too

A key committed once and 'removed' still lives in history. We check past commits, not just the current tree.

Knows a real key from noise

The model tells a live Stripe or AWS key from an example placeholder, so you chase real leaks, not false alarms.

Explains the blast radius

Each finding says what the secret unlocks and how to rotate it, not just a regex match.

Nothing stored

Runs on our own model on ephemeral infra; your code and any secrets found are never sent to a third-party AI and aren't stored.

How the secret scan works

1

Create your account and connect GitHub.

2

We scan the code and git history on ephemeral infra.

3

The model classifies each candidate secret by type and risk.

4

You get the exposed secrets with rotation guidance.

5

Pick the repo you want to scan, public or private.

Secret scanner FAQ

How do I find secrets exposed in my repo?

Create an account, connect GitHub and run the scan. Nurbak checks the code and git history for hardcoded API keys, tokens, passwords and other credentials, with a free scan to start.

Does it scan git history?

Yes. Secrets that were committed and later deleted remain recoverable in history, so we scan past commits as well as the current code.

Will it flag example placeholders as leaks?

The model distinguishes real, live-looking credentials from obvious placeholders and test values, so you focus on genuine leaks.

Are the secrets you find kept?

No. Analysis runs on ephemeral infrastructure with our own model; your code and any secrets found are deleted after the scan and never reach a third-party AI.
