5. Secrets & Configuration Emergency Exercise
Breach Simulation:
- Extract secrets from Git history using truffleHog
Defense Tactics:
- Utilize pre-commit hooks to block patterns such as
password=.* - Leverage ZAP’s config spider to expose risky settings
Lab: Deploy GitHub Actions secrets scanning
Reality Check: “Your database password is currently exposed in Slack”
6. Conclusion: DevSecOps Action Plan
OWASP Integration Roadmap:
- Map out the adoption strategy for DefectDojo, Dependency-Track, and ZAP
