Topic: passw3rd
We all know passwords in source code is bad. What many don't know is that passwords in other files are bad too. Moving your passwords to config files, symlinked directories, to even requiring a password to
be typed in upon launch is just silly. Passw3rd is a ruby and java client to create encrypted files which contain your passwords that can be read by source code. Passwords can be checked into SCM and
distributed. The keys are generated per environment and locked down with simple OS RBAC. Included with the project is a POC which uses HSMs to store the passwords, and using passw3rd for the "master"
password for that role.
Some advantages of keeping credentials out of source code are:
Credentials are not passed around when source code is shared.
Unintentional exposure of source code does not reveal credentials.
Read-access to source code can be much more permissive.
Source code can be checked into version control systems without concern for exposure of credentials.
It is easier to change credentials without having to worry about changing all instances.
Leaving credentials in source code leads to poor password management in general. If changing a credential requires you to change code, you
are less likely to want to do it.
