  • What is the current behavior?

The current API and implementation is heavily reliant upon the expectation that this project will be used to scan a filesystem. However, it may be useful to find secrets that have in some string that may only exist in memory.

  • What is the expected behavior?

It would be great if you could scan a given string you have in memory and determine if that string contains a secret.

  • What is the motivation / use case for changing the behavior?

This would allow this library to be used to detect secrets in context outside of just a filesystem, but more generally as a secret detection library.
