To help you triage and remediate secret leaks more effectively, GitHub secret scanning now dededuplicates non-provider patterns (generic patterns) against provider patterns.
Secret scanning non-provider patterns are generic detectors that help you uncover secrets outside of patterns tied to specific token issuers, like HTTP authentication headers, connection strings, and private keys.
Note: Custom patterns are not deduplicated, as removing a custom pattern will also delete those alerts. We recommend adjusting your custom patterns to avoid overlap with any GitHub-defined detectors.

Formed in 2009, the Archive Team (not to be confused with the archive.org Archive-It Team) is a rogue archivist collective dedicated to saving copies of rapidly dying or deleted websites for the sake of history and digital heritage. The group is 100% composed of volunteers and interested parties, and has expanded into a large amount of related projects for saving online and digital history.
