    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…

    Opsflow cofounder here! We launched a bunch of things recently, some of them well received (Terragen, AWS Bootstrap). It's no secret that AWS is hard, and our mission is to make it simple. What HN crowd helped us realise is that the UI was still not simple enough. Rather confusing in fact. So in the last couple weeks we have radically simplified it based on your feedback. We have removed the unnecessarily complex concepts like Services and Environments - it's just Apps now. All options are now on the new Settings screen. Instead of Infrastructure and Software deployments there is now a…

    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…

    I have been a Cloud Security Consultant for over 13 years and all that experience I put into building ARGOS Cloud Security. Probably the most common thing I've seen was teams spending loads of time manually investigating alerts from security products. Detecting security issues is not what it’s ever been about, but about the investigation of these detected issues. If you don’t have time to investigate everything, then what’s the point? Organizations spend time and money on security consultants to help them investigate their environments, but these are often only point-in-time engagements,…

    I wanted to do a complete audit of my AWS account but was dissatisfied with the existing tools. Many of them are clunky to use, and their verbose scan outputs are difficult to understand. So, I built my own open-source tool that uses LLMs to summarize the scan results.

    Hi HN, I'm an Indie Dev. Building web apps, I struggled to check for vulnerabilities on a surface and a deeper level at the same time. Most free scanners gave vague results or missed dependency issues and tools for deeper searches are mainly for enterprise. Also with vibe coding the issue of security is rising more and more. I built SecureNow - a simple web scanner built with Next.js and Supabase that checks SSL, ports, dependencies, headers, and basic vulns. It caught real issues in my projects. Free basic scans at securenow.app. Feedback on accuracy and missing features? Thanks!

    Last week I wrote about building a scanner that writes its own exploits. A cron job runs Claude Code every night, it reads new CVEs, writes proof-of-concept checks, tests them against vulnerable and patched Docker instances, and opens PRs. I review and merge in the morning. That post was about how t

    Hey HN, I'm Jarod. Spent 2 years at SendGrid watching developers struggle with email infrastructure. Built Wraps to fix the SES setup problem. One command or package (CDK & Pulumi) deploys production email infra to your AWS account: `npx @wraps.dev/cli email init` ~30 seconds to configure SES, DKIM/SPF, event tracking, and sandbox exit. You own everything—we just provide the tooling. Key decisions: - BYOC: Deploys to your AWS, you pay AWS directly for sending - Zero credentials stored: OIDC federation only - Open source CLI/SDK: MIT licensed, free forever - No lock-in: Send…
