Regex Library
Regular expressions for unique situations
Nightfall provides detectors for common data protection use cases. For unique situations, you can build custom detectors using regular expressions. The Regex Library below may help.
Customer regex detectors are powerful but can introduce noise. Please double-check our glossary of ML-based detectors before creating your own, including the following API and cryptographic key detectors.
- Nightfall's API key detector supports specific detection and validation of API keys for the top 25 services shown below.
• AWS • Azure • Confluence • Confluent • Datadog • ElasticSearch • Facebook • GitHub | • GitLab • Google API • JIRA • Nightfall • Okta • Paypal • Plaid | • Salesforce • Slack • Square • Stripe • Twitter • Twilio • Zapier |
- Nightfall's Cryptographic Key detector identifies popular keys used to lock or unlock cryptographic functions, including authentication, authorization, and encryption.
• DSA Private Key • RSA Private Key | • EC Private Key • OpenSSH Private Key • Private Key | • Encrypted Private Key • PGP Private Key Block |
