Hide .env sensitive information in Laravel whoops output.
As we all know that .env file contain the sensitive information of the app, so it is necessary to protect them from being exposed. so today i am here to tell you .
It is very important to secure the sensitive information like APP_KEY, `DB_USERNAME`, `DB_PASSWORD`, even MAIL_USERNAME ,MAIL_PASSWORD and many other sensitive information that may be exposed if we don’t take care .
We can hide our information , ok lets see how to protect it.
We can censor variable in the .env file by listing them under the key debug_blacklist in config/app.php .
When exception is thrown, whoops will mask these values with asteriks * for each character.
For instance , add the variables you want to hide under debug_blacklist.
we can do this for _env and _server .
By doing this we can mask the sensitive information with the * sign .
If you want to mask all the variables then you can simply do this:
Hurray we are done .
Thanks , let me know in comment section is it helpful or not.
