Datadog not reporting verification endpoint failures

TruffleHog Version

3.90.12

Trace Output

Expected Behavior

When using the trufflehog argument --results=verified,unknown, Datadog keys that fail to verify due to an endpoint not being reachable should report there was a verification issue, in the same way AWS keys report these failures

Actual Behavior

When an AWS token is detected and the endpoint used for verification is unavailable, the trufflehog output reports the AWS token as unknown with the message Verification issue: lookup sts.us-east-1.amazonaws.com: no such host. When a Datadog token is detected and the endpoint used for verification is unavailable, there is no Datadog entry in the output

Steps to Reproduce

1. Run the below command, these are not real AWS or Datadog keys:

cat << EOF > ./secrets.py
aws_access_key_id = "AKIAQYLPMN5GHHFPXAM1"
aws_secret_access_key = "1rUm636uS2yOEcfP5pvfqJ/ml36mF7AkyHsEU1IU"

DD_API_KEY = "20e3cd747481553d351607eb21397514"
DATADOG_API_KEY = "20e3cd747482553d341607eb21397516"
EOF

2. Turn off network connections from your device, this is the easiest way to test the endpoints being unavailable
3. Run trufflehog filesystem --fail --no-update --log-level=5 --include-detectors=AWS,Datadogtoken --results=verified,unknown ./secrets.py
4. The output will have an unverified entry for AWS, but nothing for Datadog
