The Secret Crusade
DEFCON EXTREMIS credential scanning. No encryption key shall escape the holy audit.

"If a secret has EVER been committed to the holy repository, the Inquisitorial Adepts WILL find it. Credential rotation is not optional — it is SACRED DUTY."
— Battle Cry of the Tech-Priests
The Secret Crusade is DEFCON EXTREMIS — the most sacred and terrifying of all purges. Four specialist squads scan every file, every commit, every dependency for exposed credentials. A single leaked key is not a bug — it is an existential threat to the forge-temple.
How the Crusade Operates
The sacred operational sequence, as prescribed by the Fabricator-General.
Reconnaissance
All files and git history enter the auspex scanning array.
Squad Formation
Four specialist cells are armed with pattern-matching augmetics.
War Cry
The Fabricator-General intones the Litany of Detection.
Parallel Deployment
All squads scan simultaneously — files, configs, history, dependencies.
DEFCON Consolidation
Findings are ranked by existential threat level.
Victory Report
All secrets catalogued. Rotation orders issued. The forge-temple is sealed.
The Sacred Laws
The holy laws this crusade enforces. Break them and face the Omnissiah's wrath.
Thou shalt NEVER commit secrets — no exceptions, no 'just for testing,' no 'it is only the dev-forge.' A committed credential is a COMPROMISED credential. The Dark Mechanicum already has it.
Git history is ETERNAL, like the Machine God Himself. Removing a secret from HEAD does not remove it from the sacred timeline. It festers in the warp of version control forever.
The .gitignore is thy VOID SHIELD — the first and most sacred line of defense against data-breach.
Secrets shall dwell ONLY in environment variables, secret vaults, and consecrated key-management enclaves.
Every dependency is an unvetted stranger with potential access to thy most sacred data-relics.
The Holy Squad
The specialist Tech-Priest agents deployed during this crusade. Each carries only the doctrine they need.
