# Patterns
git-vuln-finder comes with 3 default patterns which can be selected to find the potential vulnerabilities described in the commit messages such as:
- `vulnpatterns` is a generic vulnerability pattern especially targeting web application and generic security commit message. Based on an academic paper.
- `cryptopatterns` is a vulnerability pattern for cryptographic errors mentioned in commit messages.
- `cpatterns` is a set of standard vulnerability patterns see for C/C++-like languages.
