24 alternatives to ViruSaas – Virus Checks as a Service
Hi all, here is a side project I've just launched which might come in handy for certain situations. It's a very simple and free "do one thing and do it well" online service with exactly one feature: you upload a file, and it tells you — based on a ClamAV check — if that file contains a virus or not. I'm not having any ambitious plans with this project, but thanks to very low operational costs, I thought I can as well put it out there and keep it alive — maybe it's even useful for some people every now and then (just today, one of my coworkers forwarded me a fishy-looking email with an…

Yes, it's open source: https://github.com/lissy93/web-check :) Why I'm building this? There are a lot of tools out there for discovering meta and security data relating to a website, IP or server. But currently, there isn't anything that does everything, all in one place and without a paywall/ user sign up. It's still a WIP, and I'm working on a new version, with some more comprehensive checks, so any feedback would be much appreciated :)

AttackerView▲13Last 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

pompelmi▲10Hi HN — I’m the author of pompelmi, an open-source, in-process scanner for untrusted file uploads in Node.js. Motivation: I wanted a practical “upload guard” that reduces common upload risks (ZIP bombs, traversal in archives, MIME spoofing, polyglots/macro hints) without sending files to a cloud AV service (privacy + latency + GDPR concerns). Key points: - Runs in-process (no cloud calls); files never leave your infrastructure - Deep ZIP inspection with configurable limits (depth/entries/ratio) + nested archive scanning - Composable scanners (heuristics + optional signature…

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:…

Hi! My name is Herve Kom, a computer science student that is interested in learning new things everyday! As one of my graduation project, I have developed a Claude Code -like Coding CLI, but with enhancement for API Testing: - Auto-generate & run tests (unit, e2e, Playwright, CI/CD, etc.) - Say bye-bye to hallucinations with built-in MCP Server to let LLM directly read from API Docs - Adding Agent.md support for better context persistence across your whole codebase - Automatic bug & security scans (logic is kind of basic but works great!) - Vibes, I want it to feel less "enterprise" but…

Hey everyone! For the past two weeks my friend and I have been heads-down building Cloi, a fully local debugging agent that runs right in your terminal. You probably know the drill—every AI coding tool asks for API keys, subscriptions, and uploads your entire codebase to the cloud. Cloi does none of that: it runs entirely on your machine, with no cloud, no API keys, no subscriptions, and zero data leaving your system. What Cloi does: - Contextual error capture: Grabs your stack trace, local files, and environment to understand the issue. - Local LLM inference: Spins up Ollama on your box and…

Hey guys, We're excited to reach Beta milestone with our web app monitoring service. By posting here, we're seeking to get some feedback from you. So, why QABot? Why another monitoring service? We believe in Continuous Regression Testing. We are sure that continuous app validation reduces downtime and helps avoid disasters. QABot uses real browser and gets the monitoring as close as possible to real usage. At it's core, QABot is based on Selenium, an open source web browser automation tool. When we say monitoring, we mean more than checking http statuses and response times, we mean…

Hey HN, As an AppSec engineer, I’ve spent a lot of time running and tunning open-source security scanners like Trivy, Semgrep, Gitleaks and Dojo. What I have found is that running them is easy, reviewing the results, not so much. Each tool outputs different JSON, false positives pile up, and CI either becomes noisy or blocks everything. So I built Kekkai (formerly Hokage), a small open-source CLI that wraps these scanners and focuses specifically on human triage. Kekkai runs the scanners in isolated Docker containers, normalizes their outputs into a single format, and provides an interactive…
