Can Angry Data Scanner really find things

Can Angry Data Scanner really find things like passwords and API keys hidden in source code files? Or is it just for text documents?

Good question! Yes, the Sensitive data scanner from Angry Data Scanner can find way more than just text-based leaks. It’s capable of identifying exposed secrets like API keys, credentials, and even source code fragments misplaced outside repositories. It also scans for TLS certificates and account numbers, so it’s super useful for developers and security analysts alike. What’s neat is that it can rank files based on how much sensitive data they contain, so you know exactly where to focus. It’s free, works offline, and doesn’t require any installation — perfect for quick and safe checks before deployment.
