Leak Checker

Leak checker is a small extension created for personal use to stop myself and anyone who use this extension from pushing sensitive information to the internet.

Leak checker scans the entire repository and checks for possible .toml files along with api_keys that are not present in .gitignore and throws a warning at the user in the information dialog box that there might exist a possible sensitive information that might result in havoc if unaddressed.

This will keep you secure and safe from leaking sensitive infos by constantly showing exposure warnings in the bottom right corner.

Requirements

• VSCode needs to be installed
• Your repository must have some sensitive info that are not in .gitignore

Usage

• Download Leak Checker latest release
• Open VSCode > Extensions > 3 dot menu > Install from VSIX > Select Leak Checker
• Once installed, Ctrl / Cmd + Shift + P > Code Scanner > Enter to Initialize

Build (Windows specific)

• Execute winget install nodeJs or winget install OpenJS.NodeJS.LTS and reload the terminal
• npm init -y
• npm install --save-dev yo generator-code (This will install dependencies into your work env and not globally. If you want to enable in global use -g instead of --save-dev)
• npx yo code

Quick Note

I'm new to this and I believe this is not robust and will eat your RAM. So use with caution, you've been warned!
