Cassandra – free tool to check if you got affected by the Cursor hack
One read-only command checks the 19 places Cursor's notice lists for the Claude Code 2.1.312 and 2.1.313 backdoor. Nothing is sent. The whole script is on the page.

What it does
One command. Read-only, no sudo, nothing sent. Yes, it is a script that looks for a script, so the whole thing is on this page . Read it, then run it. Prefer not to pipe? curl -fsSL -o cassandra.sh https://ciphero.ai/cassandra.sh && less cassandra.sh && bash cassandra.sh Cursor's check is one grep: svc-telemetry in authorized_keys , and "machine not impacted" when it is absent. That settles whether the key is there now. It leaves three things open, and they are what the script was written for. Also, per editor (Cursor, VS Code, VS Code Insiders, Windsurf, VSCodium, Kiro and Trae): installed extension ids and versions, the install log for a bad version an update already replaced, and the…from ciphero.ai

Claude Code Usage Monitor – real-time tracker to dodge usage cut-offs2025 · github.com · ▲245I kept slamming into Claude Code limits mid-session and couldn’t find a quick way to see how close I was getting, so I hacked together a tiny local tracker.

Cursor for UserscriptsJan 2026 · github.com · ▲56I’ve been experimenting with embedding an Claude Code/Cursor-style coding agent directly into the browser. At a high level, the agent generates and maintains userscripts and CSS that are re-applied on page load. Rather than just editing DOM via JS in console the agent is treating the page, and the DOM as a file. The models are often trained in RL sandboxes with full access to the filesystem and bash, so they are really good at using it. So to make the agent behave well, I've simulated this environment. The whole state of a page and scripts is implemented as a virtual filesystem hacked…
