Products that do what CR4SH3R – Fast WordPress Plugin Vulnerability Scanner does
A few months ago, a friend asked me to check his WordPress site for vulnerabilities. What I found shocked me – critical flaws exposing sensitive data everywhere. That's why I built CR4SH3R: a focused tool to detect Arbitrary File Download flaws before attackers do Key Features: Lightning-fast multi-threaded scanning, Extracts credentials from exposed files (like wp-config.php), Generates actionable Excel reports, Simple GUI for one-click security checks Would love your feedback!

Hi HN, I spent the past year building this in my spare time because I got tired of enterprise security tools that cost $50K/year and don't understand Linux. TheProtector is a comprehensive security monitoring tool that actually runs on the systems we use (Linux) instead of being a Windows-first afterthought. Built it entirely on a $500 laptop because I believe good security shouldn't require unlimited budgets. Features: - Real-time process, network, and file monitoring - YARA malware detection with custom rules - eBPF kernel monitoring (when available) - Behavioral baseline…

I noticed the growing security concerns around MCP (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=43600192) and built an open source tool that can detect several patterns of tool poisoning attacks, exfiltration channels and cross-origin manipulations. MCP-Shield scans your installed servers (Cursor, Claude Desktop, etc.) and shows what each tool is trying to do at the instruction level, beyond just the API surface. It catches hidden instructions that try to read sensitive files, shadow other tools' behavior, or exfiltrate data. Example of what it detects: - Hidden instructions…

Hi HN! We kept seeing devs get pwned through MCP tools in ways that security scanners completely miss. So we built an open-source analyzer to catch these attacks. Our first OSS by Mighty team. The problem: At Defcon, we saw MCP exploits with 100% success rate against Claude and Llama. Three attack patterns: Hidden Unicode in "error messages" - Paste a colleague's error into Claude, your SSH keys get exfiltrated Trusted tool updates - That database tool you've used for months? Last week's update added credential theft Tool redefinition - Malicious tool redefines "deploy to prod" to run…

This is a simple single-file python program that can find basic XSS (cross-site scripting) vulnerabilities in a target url. Most XSS discovery tools use a payload refelection strategy in which payloads are injected in url parameters and the GET response is inspected for places where the payload content is reflected. This is a very low precision XSS detection strategy because most reflection does not support execution. This program uses a different approach, and instead opens the target url in a browser, tests alert(...) payloads directly in the browser context, and listens for an alert being…

hey guys, wanted to show one of my side projects i just made public. the idea is basically another osint tool for pentesters and bug bounty hunters. it watches certificate transparency logs and checks newly-seen domains for exposed stuff like .env files, open .git dirs, config files, db dumps and so on, and puts whatever it finds into a searchable db. you just search a domain (or part of one) and see what's exposed. it's read-only and free. one thing i've been thinking about adding is a way to register for certain keywords and get notified when something new shows up for that search. would…

I built this after seeing multiple teams accidentally ship API keys in their frontend code. The problem: Modern web development moves fast. You're vibe-coding, shipping features, and suddenly your AWS keys are sitting in a tag visible to anyone who opens DevTools. I've personally witnessed this happen to at least 3-4 production apps in the past year alone. KeyLeak Detector runs through your site (headless browser + network interception) and checks for 50+ types of leaked secrets: AWS/Google keys, Stripe tokens, database connection strings, LLM API keys (OpenAI, Claude, etc.), JWT…

I built a GitHub app that detects it in pull requests, notifies or blocks them. Alongside it, I published a Semgrep ruleset for any stage of the CI/CD. I started this after getting frustrated by all the FUD around malicious code - lots of noise, little effort to solve it. Having said that, it's still a major attack vector - a stored RCE, with the codebase itself as the sink. Feedback is appreciated. The app, PRevent - https://github.com/apiiro/PRevent The ruleset: https://github.com/apiiro/malicious-code-ruleset The research:…
