Frequently asked questions
What about secret keys (not AKIA)?+
Secret keys are 40-character base64. They're harder to distinguish from random data — manual review still required.
Should I rotate detected keys?+
Yes. Any leaked AWS key should be considered compromised; rotate immediately even after redacting docs.
Does it check Git history?+
No. This tool scrubs current content. For history scrubbing, use BFG or git-filter-repo.
