Google Cloud Keys

Description

General

  • Documentation: https://cloud.google.com/iam/docs/
  • Summary: Google Cloud Platform (GCP) is a suite of cloud computing services provided by Google, offering infrastructure, analytics, AI, and application deployment tools for developers and enterprises worldwide. This detector focuses on detecting Google cloud service account keys. These keys allow a server to make authenticated API calls to the Google Cloud Platform. With appropriate scopes full control of the concerned Google Cloud infrastructure can be obtained.

Revoke the secret

A secret can be revoked via the API or from the GCP console. See the documentation for more details.
