For offline scanning, first ensure that trufflehog is installed on your system. Then execute your scan using the --no-verification flag, as the secret verification process requires an internet connection.

I executed it, but I’m not sure how to determine the cause of the issue in the output results. For example, the result indicates that there’s a problem on a specific line, but if I need to communicate this to the relevant developers, how should I describe the issue and how it should be fixed? Could you provide me with a related documentation or guide?

Trufflehog scans sources to detect secrets. For example, if you run it on a folder or file in your system and a secret is found, the output might look like this:

Detector Type: ElevenLabs  
Decoder Type: PLAIN  
Raw result: sk_8a0bfaked43367fake605542e2ae61c1fake313faad1fake 
File: /home/username/tokens/data.txt
Line: 4
Analyze: Run `trufflehog analyze` to analyze this key's permissions  

• Detector Type: Identifies the service or application to which the detected secret belongs.
• Raw result: Displays the detected secret.
• File: Specifies the exact file where the secret was found.
• Line: Indicates the exact line number in the file containing the secret.
• Analyze: This indicates that an analyzer exist for this detector. Run command trufflehog analyze to further analyze this detected secret with it's analyzer.

To notify a developer, you can say:
"Line x of file y contains a leaked secret for <Detector Type>."

To fix this, the secret should either be removed from public access or, if it's in the code, replaced with an environment variable instead of being hardcoded.
