Scan Git Repositories for Exposed Credentials
You will install and configure TruffleHog, scan a suspicious Git repository for exposed secrets, analyze the findings to understand the severity of credential exposure, and export results for documentation purposes. By the end of this objective, you will understand how attackers discover credentials in version control history and how to proactively detect such exposures.

Real skill practice before real-world application
Hands-on Labs are real environments created by industry experts to help you learn. These environments help you gain knowledge and experience, practice without compromising your system, test without risk, destroy without fear, and let you learn from your mistakes. Hands-on Labs: practice your skills before delivering in the real world.
Learn by doing
Engage hands-on with the tools and technologies you’re learning. You pick the skill, we provide the credentials and environment.
Follow your guide
All labs have detailed instructions and objectives, guiding you through the learning process and ensuring you understand every step.
Turn time into mastery
On average, you retain 75% more of your learning if you take time to practice. Hands-on labs set you up for success to make those skills stick.
