🛠️ Dbmask – Discover, mask, and verify sensitive data in SQL databases
Summary
Dbmask is an open-source Python tool designed to discover sensitive columns in SQL databases, mask them with deterministic fake values, and validate the results. It combines column analysis, sampled values, and optional LLMs to identify sensitive data while supporting human review workflows.
Why it’s interesting
It unifies sensitive data discovery, deterministic masking, and strict row-by-row verification into a single workflow with history tracking.
Target user
Developers and data analysts handling test data in SQL databases.
