Adds high-signal detector for: • Paystack (live/test keys) • Flutterwave/Rave • Remita merchant+hash • Interswitch MAC keys • SportyBet/BetKing tokens Written by @LloydCoder (Tinlance) after shipping the same in Nuclei templates. Zero false positives expected due to keyword pre-filtering. 🇳🇬

Some helpful links: When adding a new detector, there are a few required steps beyond just the detector code and tests. Below is our guide on how to create a new detector. It walks through adding the enum to the proto, regenerating protos, updating engine defaults, and the rest of the workflow: If you prefer a walkthrough, here’s a helpful video tutorial as well: |
