Stars - the number of stars that a project has on GitHub. Growth - month over month growth in stars.
Activity is a relative number indicating how actively a project is being developed. Recent commits have higher weight than older ones.
For example, an activity of 9.0 indicates that a project is amongst the top 10% of the most actively developed projects that we are tracking.

Fired for leaked credentials. How do I explain this?
Well, this doesn't really happen at places that don't suck. They had no least privilege access to critical secrets and no processes (like pre-commit hooks using git-secrets) to prevent them being committed.

Recovering from Accidentally Pushing Sensitive Information to a Remote Git Repository
# macOS brew install git-secrets # Linux git clone https://github.com/awslabs/git-secrets.git cd git-secrets make install
- Managing secrets like API keys in Python - Why are so many devs still hardcoding secrets?
-
If you pay for an API key depending on the amount of requests, is it safe to push your code to GitHub?
You could use Git hooks to prevent someone from being able to author a commit when you suspect there is a secret being committed. In addition to this, you could also perform this check server-side, in case someone did not run their Git hooks for whatever reason. For example, check out git-secrets.

How to deal with unintended information leakage when using GitHub as your GIT?
Install git-secrets. Go into each of your repos, scan for past mistakes, and add a git-commit hook:
- GitHub Access Token Exposure

Security scanning
I agree that code scanning is really important, the best way to convince others is to identify high-risk threats in source code and present them to the decision-makers. For example, scanning Secrets is great for showing how repositories can be a massive vulnerability and identifying some low-hanging fruit, especially in the git history. Attackers are really after git repository access for this reason and there are plenty of open-source or free tools that you can use to illustrate the problem. Git-Secrets, Truffle Hog. These aren't great for a long-term commercial solution, something like GitGuardian is a better commercial tool but if the goal is just to illustrate the problem then finding some high-value secrets with free tools is a good way to convince the security personnel to invest in some solutions. Then the door is open to having more conversations as you have already proven the risk.

Toyota Accidently Exposed a Secret Key Publicly on GitHub for Five Years
I worked for a big startup last year and was on a contract deadline for integrating a vendor framework into a React Native app.
It was taking too long to get a new temp demo license key and GitHub search with clever filters helped me track down a demo key that was recently uploaded to a test repo.
This is also why I use git-secrets in my repos.

Marking findings as FPs in recurring scans
Under the covers, it is simply looking up an 'ignore' list stored in YML during each scan. If you are building your own, you might also want to see how AWS Labs is doing it in their solution git secrets.

Cannot use AWS SSO with Terraform
You install aws-vault (https://github.com/99designs/aws-vault), configure it according to the README and make sure you have an SSO entry that is compatible, i.e.:

How do you protect your secret keys in your local computer?
I use a aws-vault to switch thought all profiles on all aws account. It support SSO with 2FA.

LastPass says DevOps engineer’s hacked computer led to security breach in 2022
Nice! Do I understand this correctly?
You use aws-vault(https://github.com/99designs/aws-vault) and configure it with IAM and MFA with YubiKeys. You configure e.g. the profile jonsmith.
When you run
aws-vault exec jonsmith -- aws s3 ls
it will ask you, e.g. every hour to confirm with YubiKeys and cache the key for one hour. After that the temporary keys expire. Can you also store keys different from AWS?

Ask HN: Why most CLIs are not using keyring?
Don't know about kube, but awscli and a few others decouple the idea of getting credentials and doing the actions. You can use the password every time, but a better way is to either use the preconfigured profile or some wrapper which does use the keychain. For example https://github.com/99designs/aws-vault/ supports one-off commands and shell sessions with pre-populated tokens.

Recommended script access to AWS
It sounds like you have AWS SSO enabled and need a way to run scripts manually in the terminal. Take a look at the aws-vault project that makes it easy working with multiple AWS accounts.
