I can think of 2 options:

1) Write a regex that recognizes the full encryption multiline blob. This will require modifying how lines are defined, etc.

2) That's pretty much it, unless you want to have the odd false positive, and decide that any string longer than 30 chars without whitespace or certain punctuation is actually part of a key. And also, not catch certain fumble finger changes where some such string was accidentally introduced in a comment or other free-form, non-parsed section. (I'm assuming that such a change in code would fail to parse, and would be caught fairly quickly.)

Do you have a list of valid characters in private keys and such?

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
and:  <code> code here </code>
to format your post; it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":



  • Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
  • Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
    <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
  • Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
  • Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
