Projektgeschichte

The README describes 2ms as a modern secrets-discovery CLI from Checkmarx that builds on the gitleaks detection engine with Checkmarx rules, CVSS-based scoring, reporting, and optional live validation. Its public release history visible through GitHub starts in the 2023 series and continues through frequent 2026 releases.

Adoptionsgeschichte

The tool is packaged for Homebrew and also distributed through GitHub releases, source builds, and Docker. Its adoption story is therefore CI and AppSec oriented: developers install it locally with Homebrew, run it in containers, or wire SARIF/JSON output into pipelines.

Wie es verwendet wird

2ms is used to scan local filesystems, Git repositories, Confluence Cloud, Slack, Discord, and Paligo. The README examples emphasize `2ms filesystem --path .` for workspace scans and `2ms git . --depth 50` for recent Git history.

Warum Paket-Nerds sich dafür interessieren

For package-manager users, 2ms is interesting because it compresses several security-scanning surfaces into one small Go CLI. It is the sort of tool installed ad hoc before publishing code, added to CI as a gate, or used during incident response to search histories and chat exports for credentials.
