Truffle Hog Integration

Summary: PortSwigger's BApp Store lists a TruffleHog extension for Burp Suite, authored by Truffle Security at version 1.0.0 and last updated 11 March 2025, that scans Burp traffic for 800+ types of secrets such as API keys, passwords and SSH keys. The extension runs TruffleHog every 10 seconds, separates request and response headers from body content to add keyword context, and by default verifies each secret found via an HTTP request so only live secrets are shown.

Key Takeaway: The default setting only surfaces secrets that verify as live, so a scan can confirm which credentials in your traffic are usable right now - and the extension scans only Proxy traffic unless reconfigured, leaving other traffic unchecked.
