Description

PassDetective is a powerful command-line tool designed to enhance the security of your shell command history.

Key Features:

  • Comprehensive Scanning: PassDetective thoroughly examines your command history to catch any instances of sensitive data, leaving no stone unturned.
  • Customizable Rules: The tool allows you to define custom regular expressions, enabling you to adapt its scanning capabilities to your specific needs.
  • Privacy-Conscious: PassDetective operates locally on your system and does not transmit or store any data externally, guaranteeing the utmost privacy and confidentiality.

Take command of your security and fortify your system against accidental data exposure with PassDetective. Whether you're a developer, system administrator, or security-conscious individual, this tool is an indispensable addition to your toolkit. Keep your sensitive information safe and secure with PassDetective on Kali Linux.

@aydinnyunus Thank you for your work on the packaging.
I started to work on this to upload it in Kali.

But I have one question: the LICENSE file is empty, the license Apache-2 is mentioned in the README but you mentioned GPL-3.0 in debian/copyright. Which license applies to this tool?
It would be great to complete the LICENSE file.
