During a penetration test, you are tasked with identifying and reporting exposed secrets like API keys and passwords within a client's code repositories. Which of the following tools is specifically designed for this purpose?
TruffleHog
Wireshark
OWASP ZAP
Scout Suite
The correct answer is TruffleHog because it is designed to search through git repositories for secrets, digging deep into commit history and branches. This is used to find exposed passwords and API keys that have potentially been committed to version control systems. The other options, Scout Suite, Wireshark, and OWASP ZAP, have different primary applications. Scout Suite is for auditing configurations of cloud environments; Wireshark is a network protocol analyzer, and OWASP ZAP is a web application security scanner.
