ShieldScan
Free malware scanner 95 AV engines, URLs, files & screenshot
ShieldScan launched on April 2, 2026.
What it does
Cybersecurity tools are either too complex for everyday users or too basic to be useful. ShieldScan combines 4 security engines into one clean interface. 95 AV engines, Google Safe Browsing, live page screenshots, and domain age detection — then gives you a single weighted risk score and a downloadable pdf report of the scan instead of raw data dumps. It scans URLs, files, and IPs/domains. No signup, no ads, completely free and open source.
Free URL scanner and website malware checker. Paste any link or file — 95+ antivirus engines + Google Safe Browsing give you a clear safety verdict in 5 seconds. Free plan, no credit card.
Paste a URL or drop a file. Scanify runs it through 95+ antivirus engines and Google Safe Browsing in under 5 seconds. One score. Full breakdown. Three steps. One-click Google sign-in. No waiting room. The whole thing fits in the time it takes to second-guess yourself. Public APIs, internal staging links, attachments from email — anything that could open in a browser. We fan the request out to every reputable engine simultaneously and stream verdicts back as they land. Engine-by-engine breakdown, a live screenshot of the URL, and a PDF report on Pro. Built so you stop clicking sus stuff — and so your app can do the same, automatically. Paste a link, get a verdict with a live screenshot and…from scanify.to

MCP-Shield – Detect security issues in MCP servers2025 · github.com · ▲134I 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…

VSCan - Detect Malicious VSCode Extensions2025 · vscan.dev · ▲52Did you know that VSCode extensions run with full access to your system—including file system, network, and credentials? Worse, dozens of malicious extensions have already made it into the marketplace, silently compromising devices. I am a security researcher and student developer who ran into this problem myself. To help tackle this, I built a 100% free tool (no login required) that scans VSCode (and Cursor/Windsurf) extensions for: - Hidden malware and obfuscated code - Dangerous permissions and API misuse - Vulnerable dependencies and suspicious network connections Users have already…

Talanoa▲346Hi 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…

With social media and now AI, its important to keep the indie web alive. There are many people who write frequently. Blogosphere tries to highlight them by fetching the recent posts from personal blogs across many categories. There are two versions: Minimal (HN-inspired, fast, static): https://text.blogosphere.app/ Non-minimal: https://blogosphere.app/ If you don't find your blog (or your favorite ones), please add them. I will review and approve it.
