Adobe has released an open-source tool, dubbed Stringlifier, which was designed to identify randomly generated strings in any plain text.

The Stringlifier tool was written in Python and uses machine learning to identify sequences of random characters inserted in a normal text.
The open-source tools could be used to analyze logs for multiple purposes, such as the research of accidentally exposed credentials.

“Stringlifier is our latest open source project and it can help you in tackling this often difficult task. The project is an open-source python package that allows you to detect code/text that resembles a randomly generated string in any plain text. It uses machine learning to distinguish between normal and random character sequences. It can also be adapted for more fine-grained classifications (password, API key, hash, etc.).” reads the post published by Adobe.

The source code of the Stringlifier tool is available on Adobe’s public GitHub repository. Adobe also released a Python package installer) installation package with a pre-trained model included.
Adobe has used the tool to identify random strings within datasets, along with another open-source tool dubbed Tripod.

“1e32jnd9312”, “32189321-DEF3123-9898312”, “ADEFi382819312.” Do these strings seem familiar? They could be hashes, random generated passwords, API keys, or many other types of strings. You can usually spot them in logs, command lines, configuration files, and source code.
Whether you are analyzing security and application logs or you are hunting for accidentally exposed credentials, they can, unfortunately, make your life a lot harder. This is because building a search pattern for something random is a particularly hard task.
