Redact IPs, hostnames, MACs, emails and credentials from text files


redact scans text files (logs, configuration files, support bundles) and
replaces sensitive data with placeholder tags before you share them
publicly - for example when opening a bug report, posting to a forum, or
attaching output to a support ticket.

Detected and redacted by default:
* IPv4 and IPv6 addresses (all common notations, including compressed
 and loopback forms)

* MAC addresses
* Email addresses
* Hostnames / FQDNs (generic TLD/suffix detection, e.g. .com, .net,
 .internal, .local, .corp, .lan, .intranet, .io, .dev, .cloud, ...)

* Credentials: AWS access keys, GitHub/Slack tokens, JWTs, Bearer
 tokens, PEM private key blocks, and password/api_key/secret/token
 assignments in config files


You can also pass one or more --domain flags to redact client-specific
domains that aren't covered by the generic hostname detection (useful
when working across multiple client engagements with different internal
domains).

The original file is never modified - a new file with a .redacted
suffix is written next to it (or output goes to stdout with --stdout).

Usage:
redact file.log
redact *.log config.yaml
redact file.log --domain client.example --domain internal.client.net
redact file.log --stdout
