Code Audit

This subcategory brings together two checks that are useful before sharing or deploying code. Secret scanner finds keys and tokens left in a text, while chmod converter translates Unix permissions between symbolic and octal forms. It suits developers, reviewers and administrators preparing a release or fixing access rights. Both checks are free, need no sign-up, and execute directly in the browser.

The choice is straightforward: Secret scanner answers a possible leak in a snippet, log or configuration. chmod converter answers a Unix permission question, for example when verifying a value before applying it. Start with the first for a content review, and with the second for a permissions check.

How to use

  1. For a content review, run Secret scanner on the snippet, log or configuration and find keys and tokens left behind.
  2. If a secret appears, remove it from the text and rotate the exposed value before sharing the document.
  3. For Unix rights, open chmod converter and translate symbolic notation to octal or the reverse.
  4. Check the resulting value with chmod converter before applying it in a command or interface.

Frequently asked questions

Can Secret scanner find every possible leak?

No. It flags patterns of forgotten keys and tokens in a text, but it does not replace a full review. Treat its result as an alert, then inspect the context and rotate any exposed value if needed.

Does chmod converter change my files?

No. It only converts Unix permissions between symbolic and octal notation. You copy the resulting value into the command or interface of your choice. No file is touched from this page.

In what order should I use Secret scanner and chmod converter?

Start with Secret scanner to clean a text before sharing it. Then, if the topic becomes access rights, use chmod converter to check a permission. This order separates a possible leak from Unix configuration and avoids mixing two distinct diagnoses.

Is Secret scanner enough before publishing?

No. Secret scanner flags patterns, but a human review is still needed. Add chmod converter if you also check Unix permissions. Before publishing, inspect the context, exposed values and applied rights.
