The Developer's Guide to 'Safe Share'

The “Share” Paralysis

You have a critical bug in Prod. The server is on fire. You need help. You want to paste the error.log into Slack, GitHub Issues, or send it to a consultant.

But you pause.

• Does this log have a user’s IP?
• Does it have a Session Token?
• Does it have an AWS key in the environment dump?

So you spend 15 minutes manually Ctrl+F‑ing for sensitive strings. And you miss one. Five minutes later, your AWS bill hits $10,000 because a bot scraped your key from that GitHub gist.

The “Ctrl+Z” for Privacy

We built the Document Scanner capability in Risk Mirror to end this paralysis. It’s an O(n) regex engine that runs in the browser (or via API).

The “Safe Share” Protocol

• Local Scan – Drag your .log file into Risk Mirror.
• Pattern Match – We identify 150+ secrets (AWS keys, Slack tokens, emails, IPs, MAC addresses).
• Redact or Replace
  • Redact – Replace matches with [REDACTED] to show where the data was.
  • Twin – Replace an IP (e.g., 192.168.1.5) with a placeholder (e.g., 10.0.0.9). The network topology looks the same, but the target is gone.
• Download & Send – You now have a clean file.

It takes < 1 second. It saves your career.

Don’t trust your eyes. Trust the pattern matcher.
