About the project
TruffleHog is a Go tool for finding leaked credentials: it scans Git, chats, wikis, logs and filesystems, classifies secrets across 800+ types, and verifies whether they are still live. It is aimed at security teams and developers auditing repos and infrastructure.
Useful for
- Scan a GitHub repo for live secrets before making code public
- Scan an entire GitHub org while excluding archived repositories
- Run checks in CI to block commits containing leaked keys

Star growth looks organic. Data as of October 20, 2026, 11:08 UTC.
The star-growth assessment does not verify whether the project is safe to run.
Stars per day
Bars show stars per UTC day; the line is a moving average of available history. Gaps mean missing data, not zero growth. Today's bar is incomplete. Red marks spike days.
Why it’s trending
- Star-counter measurements on 2026-10-20 (UTC), 00:28–11:03: 28595 → 28602 stars (+7). This is the change over that interval.
- Estimated end-of-day forecast: about +15 stars, using observed gains and the previous day.
- Interest is fading: the two-day pace is 59% of the previous week and a half.

Star trust
Growth looks organic: forks and discussion are in line with active projects, and stars arrive unevenly, the way people give them.
These are heuristics, not a verdict: we judge by the repository’s behavior, not by a list of stargazers.
