ggshield
Detect and validate 500+ types of hardcoded secrets
GitGuardian’s ggshield is an open-source command-line interface (CLI) tool designed to help developers and security teams detect hardcoded secrets and sensitive credentials early in the development process, either locally or in CI/CD pipelines. It scans source code, configuration files, commit history, and other artifacts to automatically detect hundreds of different secret types — such as API keys, tokens, and passwords — helping prevent accidental leaks before they reach version control or production environments. ggshield can be used interactively on a developer’s machine, integrated as a pre-commit or pre-push git hook, and run as part of automated build or merge workflows to enforce security policies consistently across teams. It works across major operating systems using Python, and offers standalone packaged binaries for environments where Python isn’t available, making it adaptable to a wide range of developer setups. -

tccutil.py
Command line tool to modify OS X's accessibility database (TCC.db)
Apple has a utility in /usr/bin named tccutil, but it only supports one command, which is to reset the entire database. It has been like this for many versions of macOS. I wanted a command-line utility that would be able to add, remove, list, and take other actions. This tool needs SIP disabled in order to function. The risk of doing so is up to you. tccutil.py can be installed without any additional software. Depending how you have your $PATH variable setup, you can simply type tccutil (instead of the full path) and it will run this utility instead of Apple's. This utility needs super-user priveleges for most operations. It is important that you either run this as root or use sudo, otherwise it won't work and you will end up with “permission denied” errors. -

Destructive Command Guard
The Destructive Command Guard (dcg) is for blocking dangerous git
Destructive Command Guard is a high-performance safety hook for AI coding agents and command-line workflows. It intercepts shell commands before execution and blocks operations that could erase files, rewrite Git history, destroy infrastructure, or remove data. The Rust implementation uses fast filtering and context-aware rules to distinguish dangerous execution from harmless text matches. Its modular security packs cover Git, filesystems, databases, containers, cloud platforms, Kubernetes, Terraform, and other tools. Users can inspect denials, enable agent-specific profiles, add allowlist entries, or temporarily bypass a rule when necessary. It also provides scan modes for CI and pre-commit checks, while a fail-open design avoids stopping work because of parser errors or timeouts. -
