Likelihood to Recommend I do think it'll absolutely fit everyone who codes integrates with another platform or services. We all forget that one credentials one in a while, and especially those who managed public repository, it is important to keep an eye on accidentally committed credentials. While I think you don't really needs it for personal project, it's a nice to have, you don't want to waie up to 50k USD of sudden surcharge on resources you don't use.
Read full review It is easy to use with sufficient documentation on how to use the tools for end users or newbies. Experienced testers will find it easy to customise and configure the test cases. Just wished that I could have taken up a course on using this tool in my study days so that I could had explored more and improved my familiarity with the tool, unlike when working where access and time to explore the other features of the tool is limited
Read full review Pros Secret scanning for secrets like Github OAuth Secrets Git commit/push hooks, so there's a check before you even try to push to a VCS Automatic rollback on accidentally pushed secerts Awesome dashboard and amazing options to resolve any false-positives Read full review Scanning our network for new or existing vulnerable systems. Automation of manual tests and exploits to allow what used to be days of effort to be squeezed into hours. Metasploit has become an integral part in our validation of new systems before their inclusion in our production network. Read full review Cons Improved user interface: It would be beneficial to have a more intuitive and user-friendly interface for Internal Monitoring on GitGuardian. This would make it easier for users to quickly access the data they need and understand the results of their scans. Automated alerts: It would be helpful to have automated alerts when certain conditions are met, such as when a scan reveals sensitive data or when a new repository is created. This would help users stay informed and take action in a timely manner. More detailed reports: Currently, Internal Monitoring reports are limited in terms of the depth of information they provide. It would be useful to have more detailed reports that include additional metrics, such as the number of repositories scanned and the types of sensitive data found. Faster scan times: Scan times can be slow at times, making it difficult to stay on top of changes in repositories quickly. It would be beneficial to have faster scan times so that users can take action quickly when needed.

Read full review Alternatives Considered We selected GitGuardian because I attended a webinar from them. And they explained excellent which security issues can be in secrets in public/private repositories and to mitigate this risks we decided to use GitGuardian. Also, the free tier is one of the things which are really great and good starting point into repository security. And it does what they promise, really good.
Read full review Metasploit is an all around good suite of tools to test and validate potential vulnerabilites. Other tools have bits and pecies such as
Nmap , Nessus,
Burp Suite , etc. but Metasploit can function in the same way but more.
