Description

JKS files contain potential secrets. Is there a way of configuring git-secrets to find JKS files? git-secrets appears to scan only file content. I'm not sure if JKS files have any distinguishing fixed content that can be scanned for to identify them.

Research direction

Start by locating git-secrets' configuration and content-scanning entry points, then determine how binary JKS files could be identified. Done means the tool has a documented, testable way to detect JKS files rather than relying only on content scanning.
