How it works
- Search or browse the library of sensitive data patterns.
- Find the pattern type you need — email, SSN, credit card, and more.
- Copy the regex into your own validation or scanning code.
The library collects well-tested regular expressions for common PII and secret formats — patterns commonly used for log scrubbing, input validation, and data-loss-prevention scanning — organized for quick lookup.
FAQ
Is my search query uploaded anywhere?
No. Browsing the library happens entirely in your browser — nothing is sent to a server.
What patterns are included?
Common PII and secret patterns — email addresses, credit card numbers, SSNs, IP addresses, API keys, and more, in one reference library.
Are these patterns production-ready?
They cover the common cases well but, like any regex-based detection, can produce false positives or miss edge cases — review before relying on them for compliance-critical scanning.
Can I copy a pattern directly into my code?
Yes — each pattern is shown as a ready-to-paste regex literal for use in validation, log scrubbing, or DLP scanning code.
