GitHub personal access tokens, Bitbucket app passwords, Artifactory API keys, npm access tokens, Slack webhooks, SendGrid API keys, Airtable tokens, Square access tokens

Nullify suppresses known test tokens while flagging production secrets introduced in commits or history.

Authentication artefacts

JWTs, HTTP basic-auth strings, OAuth bearer tokens, webhook signing secrets

Detectors parse headers and base64 payloads to catch embedded credentials.

Generic API keys

High-entropy keys that do not match a known provider but behave like credentials

Rules combine entropy thresholds with contextual keywords to minimise false positives.

Personally identifiable information

Email addresses, phone numbers, postal addresses, dates of birth, payment cards

PII detections are explained in Confidential Data Detection.

Have a provider that is not listed? Define a custom pattern or contact Nullify support to add a managed detector.
