It's an approach to defensive security for software products (especially smaller companies) by acting as the security team you don't have/can't afford. It does security recon/analysis, etc via AI.

I got tired of all of the LLM labs building firewalls of "oh, nobody is allowed to do security research/find+fix vulnerabilities in their software unless they apply for special registration."

Instead of saying "oh, anything that the model determines is security research is a vulnerability threat", it does reliably enforceable analysis like "look for a TXT record in DNS the same way a SSL provider would ensure you own the property". So it can do "live" penetration tests against your infrastructure if you provide authorization

It handles things like incoming "security researcher" e-mails to cut down on the noise of nonsense vulnerability reports by acting as your security team that defends against the reports

It provides provable/signed attestation that a pentester has checked your code/live infrastructure/APIs/etc and validated them, and/or has done a check after you've remediated whatever issues that were found. It helps all 3 sides of the "company needs pentester" and "pentester" and "auditor"/"customer" to come to agreements on what's important and what's been solved

It's a way to augment small/overloaded security teams. It can pentest and then generate a pentester-style PDF report for auditors and procurement, triage incoming e-mails from security researchers by then checking whether the vulnerabilities they claim actually exist and are exploitable, hook into GitHub to scan for vulnerabilities and auto-propose fixes or file GitHub issues for you.

It's free for Open Source projects, if anyone here is maintaining one


Also, a "just for fun" project: https://drifttrip.connelly.casa/ . I was always enthralled with the idea of taking a virtual road trip and then loading the local council's tourism promo videos at each "stop"


Oh man, this sounds fun. But, the button is stuck at "Loading" and never completes. Is HN hugging it to death?


Yeah, I think so. It's running on a pretty small VPS and I never implemented any caching. Should have thought about that before posting I guess. I see the CPU is currently pegged. I was able to get it to load at least 1 trip myself though, so maybe retry in a bit
