nscat displays the content of a file replacing keys and passwords with Xs
As a user I want a command-line program that displays the content of a file, but removes any 'secret' or sensitive information, like passwords or API keys.
While troubleshooting problems on a server, often the sysadmin in sharing their screen. There often comes a time when someone says, "What's in that .env file?". If the SA cats the file, there is a chance that any secrets in that file will be revealed to anyone viewing the shared screen. It would be nice if there was a program that would 'cat' the file but remove any sensitive information.
