Desktopfree

ferret-scan is a free, offline command-line tool and Go library that detects personally identifiable information, secrets, and credentials in files and data streams, then redacts them in place while preserving their format. It scores findings with context-aware confidence and runs entirely on the local machine, letting developers and security teams catch sensitive data leaks in CI pipelines or pre-commit hooks without sending data to an external service.
