    Metlo - An Open Source API Security Tool Hey folks! Excited to share what we’ve been working on for the last couple months. Metlo is a self hosted, open source first API security platform that inventories, tests and protects your API endpoints: - We inventory your endpoints by scanning API traffic and detecting all your endpoints along with the sensitive data they contain. - We generate information your security team may find useful like Open API Specs and risk scores for each endpoint. - After this we discover vulnerabilities like unauthenticated endpoints returning sensitive data or…

    Quickly Create Security Tests for All Your APIs (YC S21)2023 · ▲15

    Hey everyone, excited to share something we’ve been working on the last few months! For context, Metlo is an open source API Security tool[0] we launched here on HN a couple months ago[1]. After working with a few customers over the last couple months, we realized there was a gap in other API testing solutions; especially when it comes to writing security tests. So we decided to completely gut and revamp our testing product - sharing that with you all today! Most Automated API Scanners only find generic vulnerabilities like misconfigured HSTS/CORS Headers and miss vulns specific to your…

    We built API Radar to track exposed API keys from OpenAI, Claude, Gemini, and other major providers—in real time—from public GitHub repositories. Why? Leaked AI keys are everywhere. They power bots, cost companies thousands, and even expose user data. But no one had a clean dashboard to see the leaks as they happen — until now. What you’ll find: Full redacted + raw API key leaks Real-time feed of exposed repos Leaderboards by author, repo, and provider Filtering by provider (OpenAI, Claude, Gemini, etc.) Timeline of key exposure trends Built for security researchers, devs, and AI companies…

    Hi HN, I’m a fullstack developer, and honestly, I’ve lost count of how many side projects I’ve worked on over the years. But one idea kept coming back to me: a different kind of email client. It first came to me in 2014: “What if we could handle emails more like conversations?” Every year, I’d revisit this concept in my “Build Notes.” Ten years later, no one had built exactly what I had in mind — so I finally decided to do it myself. That’s how Talanoa was born. I wanted something focused on people, not timelines. I was tired of marking messages as unread just to remember to reply later, or…

  • A couple of years ago, I had an interesting idea. What if there was a marketplace where all the underlying tech was open-source? The order management system, the storefront, customer support, etc. The marketplace would simply connect to the seller’s infra instead of locking them in. If, for some reason, the seller is removed from the marketplace, their software stays with them and they can continue accepting orders directly. This model can be used to disrupt any marketplace from AirBNB to UberEats: building tech for home renters and restaurants and later, leveraging that to build a competing…
