history

Project history and usage

mantra is a Go command-line security tool for finding API-key leaks in JavaScript files and HTML pages.

Project history

The public repository was created in January 2023. Its README describes a tool built in Go whose main objective is to inspect web page source and script files for strings that are identical or similar to API keys.

Adoption history

The project is distributed as a Go install target, source build, and Homebrew formula. Its GitHub topics and README position it for bug bounty, pentest, JavaScript, leaked-secret, and web security workflows.

How it is used

Users install with `go install github.com/Brosck/mantra@latest` or build from source, then run the `mantra` CLI against pages or JavaScript files to identify possible exposed API keys.

Why package nerds care

mantra is part of the small, fast Go CLI ecosystem around web reconnaissance and secret scanning, where package-manager availability matters because tools are often chained in scripts.

Timeline
