# Sensitive File Scanner
This script scans a specified directory for sensitive files based on file extensions and patterns. It is designed to be used on Linux systems.
## Requirements
- Python 3.x
## Usage
To use the script, follow the steps below:
1. Save the script to a file named `sensitive_file_scanner.py`.
2. Run the script with the directory you want to scan as an argument:
```
python3 sensitive_file_scanner.py /path/to/scan
```
The script will output the paths of any matching sensitive files found in the specified directory and its subdirectories.
## Customization
You can customize the list of sensitive file extensions and patterns by modifying the sensitive_extensions and sensitive_patterns lists in the sensitive_file_scanner.py script. Add or remove extensions and patterns based on your specific requirements.
```
sensitive_extensions = ['.key', '.pem', '.pgp', '.p12', '.pfx', '.csv']
sensitive_patterns = ['*password*', '*secret*', '*private*', '*confidential*']
```
