Password Search is written in PHP and will work on any system that support PHP including Microsoft Windows, Apple OS X and Linux. The only requirement is to have PHP installed.

Password Search is invoked through the command line:

php password_search.php <directory> <report>

Where:

• <directory> is the directory to start searching for passwords (The search include all sub-directories)
• <report> is the path to the report file

Report are written in CSV (Comma Separated Values) format. You can open them with a variety of software, including Microsoft Excel.

Password search works by combining keywords and regular expressions. You can check the presentation given at Password^15 for more information:

Bug reports and suggestions for improvements are most welcome. Of particular interest are keywords, API key formats, functions names or file names indicating the presence of credentials.
