OSV-Scanner
Use OSV-Scanner to find existing vulnerabilities affecting your project's dependencies.
OSV-Scanner provides an officially supported frontend to the OSV database that connects a project’s list of dependencies with the vulnerabilities that affect them. Since the OSV.dev database is open source and distributed, it has several benefits in comparison with closed source advisory databases and scanners:
- Each advisory comes from an open and authoritative source (e.g. the RustSec Advisory Database.
- Anyone can suggest improvements to advisories, resulting in a very high quality database
- The OSV format unambiguously stores information about affected versions in a machine-readable format that precisely maps onto a developer’s list of packages

Nosey Parker: Find secrets in textual data
Nosey Parker is a command-line tool that finds secrets and sensitive information in textual data. It is useful both for offensive and defensive security testing.
**Key features:**
- It supports scanning files, directories, and the entire history of Git repositories
- It uses regular expression matching with a set of 60 patterns chosen for high signal-to-noise based on experience and feedback from offensive security engagements
- It groups matches together that share the same secret, further emphasizing signal over noise
- It is fast: it can scan at hundreds of megabytes per second on a single core, and is able to scan 100GB of Linux kernel source history in less than 5 minutes on an older MacBook Pro
