This is an experimental attempt to improve the traditional secret searching techniques. Findings are primarily a Regular Expression pattern, name, and description which is defined as a subclass of Finding
in Python. These findings are then captured out of the target directory using an efficient Rust-based core before being passed back to Python, where each match is rated against indicators. Indicators are used to calculate ratings, which are used to determine how likely or unlikely a match is to be correct.
