You are correct. Though, speaking of regex, they work with partners to create the most accurate regexes possible using non-public information like expected entropy or checksums.
- computerfriend 3y agoThat's surprising (to me), because the enterprise custom scanning feature only supports hyperscan-flavoured regex.
- richbell 3y agoSorry, I should clarify that some of those things are _in addition_ to regex. You are correct that it uses Hyperscan to find initial matches, then their first-party patterns go through some additional local processing magic. (This is my understanding based on conversations with people working on the secret scanning feature at GitHub, I don't have firsthand knowledge.)
