RedActor

Anonymize code before sharing or using AI.

Automatically detect and remove sensitive data from your code, logs, and prompts — locally, with zero setup.

🚀 Why RedActor

Developers constantly copy/paste code into:

• AI tools (Copilot, ChatGPT)
• GitHub issues / PRs
• StackOverflow / Slack

👉 This often leaks:

• API keys
• internal URLs
• emails
• IPs

RedActor prevents that — instantly.

⚡ What it does

RedActor automatically anonymizes:

• Emails → user@email.com
• URLs → https://example.com
• IP addresses → 0.0.0.0
• AWS keys → SECRET_1
• Your custom patterns → fully configurable

Runs fully local. No data leaves your machine.

🧠 Example

Input

const email = "dev@company.com";
const api = "https://intranet.local";
const ip = "10.0.0.12";
const aws = "AKIA1234567890ABCDEF";

Output

const email = "user@email.com";
const api = "https://example.com";
const ip = "0.0.0.0";
const aws = "SECRET_1";

🔧 Custom patterns (power feature)

Define your own anonymization rules using regex.

Replace internal IDs

{
  "/user_[0-9]+/g": "user_XXX"
}

Example:
const id = "user_12345"; → const id = "user_XXX";

Mask company domains

{
  "/https:\\/\\/.*\\.internal/g": "https://example.com"
}

Example:
const api = "https://payments.internal"; → const api = "https://example.com";

Replace tokens

{
  "/token_[a-zA-Z0-9]+/g": "TOKEN"
}

Example:
const token = "token_abC123XYZ"; → const token = "TOKEN";

👉 Adapt RedActor to your company rules or any custom format.

🧩 VSCode Extension

Use RedActor directly in VSCode:

• Command: Anonymize Code
• Works instantly on your file
• Opens anonymized version side-by-side

📦 Installation

Monorepo (local dev)

pnpm install
pnpm build

Core package

pnpm add @gianfa/redactor-core

⚙️ Usage

import { anonymize } from "@gianfa/redactor-core";

const result = anonymize(code);

console.log(result.code);
console.log(result.findings);
console.log(result.map);

🖥 CLI

node packages/core/dist/cli.js ./input.txt

• anonymized code → stdout
• findings → stderr

🔧 Use custom rules from JSON

node packages/core/dist/cli.js ./input.txt ./anonymizations.json

or

ANONYMIZE_JSON=./anonymizations.json node packages/core/dist/cli.js ./input.txt

🎯 Use cases

• Safe AI usage (no leaks)
• Sharing code publicly
• Cleaning logs before debugging
• Protecting internal data

🏢 For teams

Using AI with real code?

You might be leaking sensitive data across your organization.
