Secret ingredients for secure development: Achieving precise and fast secret detection

Code serves as one of the primary repositories for various secrets. A single commit can accidentally expose a token or password to the public. Identifying secrets becomes a real challenge when one needs to scan all projects hosted on a popular developer platform.

Our secure development experts, Denis Makrushin, Andrey Kuleshov, and Alexey Troynikov, explained how the secret detection feature is implemented, highlighting the key criteria for secret scanning: it has to be fast, precise, and thorough.

The article covers:

Case study analysis.
Comparison of two modern and high-speed secret-scanning tools: Kingfisher and Gitleaks.
Review of benefits LLMs have over traditional methods, i.e., entropy analysis, regular expressions, and signatures.

Dogfooding, AI assistants, and code navigation: Exploring SourceCraft, a new development platform by Yandex

The story of SourceCraft began in Yandex Infrastructure, a team focused on building tools for creating and deploying internal Yandex applications and services and supporting the infrastructure utilized by most of the company's engineers. This explains why most of the feature ideas for the new platform came about as a result dogfooding, i.e., using one's own product by the team of its creators.

Platform developers, Olga Lukyanova and Sergey Zakharchenko, will shed light on what it is like to create a developer platform while also using it to write code, run tests, review pull requests, build and deploy the application.
