I don't know what this software does.

The provided Makefile is essentially unusable. A problem with the Makefile was reported to the developer a year ago and has not been resolved.

There are no stable released versions (no tags) in the repository.

What does this software do? In summary, keyhunt is a specialized tool aimed at identifying cryptographic keys and sensitive information within files and directories, helping to mitigate security risks associated with inadvertent exposure of such data. It's particularly useful in security assessments, audits, and penetration testing scenarios where protecting sensitive information is paramount.

Regarding the makefile, yes it is a mess. I think that's the reason most people trying to compile it on macos gave up and decided to apparently make a kali vm and run it there. Too slow to make that even worthwhile,.
