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 :)

    Last 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

  • 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…
