Engineering Efficiency and Continuous Improvement in Security Services

Highlight is a simple utility that creates an image from a text stream, automatically draw boxes around user defined content and automatically blurs sensitive content.

Sometimes we have a text stream, such as the output of a configuration file, and we want to include that as an image into a document. At the same time, we might want to highlight a particular string of text that’s found and we might want to hide other details that might contain things such as passwords. We could use a screen capture utility and then proceed with marking up the image. This leads to inconsistent boxes around text and certainly does not lend itself to automation.

With this utility, the entire process can be automated.
