StackHawk

Helping developers find and fix application security bugs

StackHawk launched on September 1, 2020 with 12 votes, #1,011 of 3,898 launches that month and more than 50% of that year's launches. The site was still online in September 2026, 6 years on.

What it does

StackHawk is built to help developers find and fix application security bugs before they hit production. Kick off a scan with a single Docker command, triage your findings in the web app, and automate in CI/CD to catch vulnerabilities early.

Secure AI-generated code before it ships. StackHawk enables coding agents to find, fix, and verify exploitable vulnerabilities automatically.

Vulnerabilities are fixed before code is ever committed, closing the window before attackers can use it. Create fixes, not tickets. No more triaging and your backlog shrinks instead of compounding. The same AI coding agent that builds your feature calls StackHawk—scanning the app, fixing issues, and verifying them before you push. Runtime tests against your running app, surfacing only what’s actually exploitable. No noise. The agent remediates directly in the codebase, using full source context to write the correct fix. A rescan confirms the vulnerability is gone. Ship clean code. Two skills. One complete security loop — built into the agent you’re already using. The agent runs…from stackhawk.com

    Hey all, I built StackScope, a crawler/catalogue that looks at new product launches and shows what they were built with. It watches launches from Product Hunt, Show HN, and PeerPush, then crawls the public site behind each one. The goal is to show what people actually launched with: hosting, frameworks, analytics, DNS, security headers, legal pages, AI-builder signals, and other public clues. I started building it because most stack-detection sites look at the web as a whole. I was more interested in the current indie launch scene: what people are choosing right now, at the point they…

    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…

    Almost eight years ago I launched an online “Linux sysadmin course for newbies” here at HN. It was a side-project that went well, but never generated enough money to allow me to fully commit to leaving the Day Job. After surviving the Big C, and getting made redundant I thought I might improve and relaunch it commercially – but my doctors are a pessimistic bunch, so it looked like I didn’t have the time. Instead, I rejigged/relaunched it via a Reddit forum this February as free and open - and have now gathered a team of helpers to ensure that it keeps going each month even after I can’t…
