Security research and tools,
open for everyone.

Enterprise-grade security automation, open for everyone. We build CIS compliance scanners, cloud security tooling, and DevSecOps utilities — then publish everything with the research behind it. Take the tools. Read the tradecraft. No strings attached.

New posts and tools added regularly.

CIS-Hardened by Default
Windows and Linux compliance scanning built against CIS benchmark controls — not checkbox security

Multi-cloud attack surface coverage — IAM, CSPM, workload protection across all four major providers
Security Shifts Left
DevSecOps automation for CI/CD pipelines, IaC scanning, secrets detection, and container hardening
Vulnerability-First Research
CVE analysis, real exploit chains, and the detection tooling to catch them — documented from actual assessments

What you'll find here

Enterprise-grade security tools and research — open-source, production-ready, built for practitioners who operate at scale.

CIS Compliance Scanners

Automated CIS benchmark scanning for Windows and Linux. Run compliance checks against industry-standard baselines — fully open-source, ready to drop into any environment.

WindowsLinuxCIS BenchmarksApache 2.0

Cloud Security & CSPM

Multi-cloud security posture management, attack surface enumeration, IAM analysis, and misconfiguration detection across all major cloud providers including Oracle Cloud.

Vulnerability Detection

CVE detection, dependency auditing, and container image scanning. We document real vulnerabilities and the tooling to find them before an attacker does.

CVE ResearchReal-timeContainer Scanning

DevSecOps Automation

Security utilities for CI/CD pipelines, infrastructure-as-code scanning, secrets detection, and shift-left security integration across GitHub Actions, GitLab, and Jenkins.

Technical writeups & guides

Practical guides written from hands-on experience — not documentation rewrites. If we've solved a problem worth sharing, it ends up here.

Step-by-stepHands-onNo fluff

Security research

Deep dives into attack techniques, threat models, detection methods, and how real threats work — across cloud, identity, AI systems, and container infrastructure.

Threat ModelingAI SecurityIdentity
Security automation

From detection to remediation — automated

We build tools that find real problems — shadow AI running unchecked in your org, misconfigured cloud resources, systems failing CIS controls — and produce actionable output, not just dashboards.

  • Shadow AI detection — find unauthorized LLM usage across your org
  • CIS benchmark automation — Windows & Linux compliance at scale
  • Cloud misconfiguration scanning — AWS, Azure, GCP, OCI
  • DevSecOps integration — drop into any CI/CD pipeline
  • Real-time SIEM alerting — every finding, logged and actioned

Why standing access is your biggest IAM risk (and how to fix it)

Most AWS environments I've reviewed grant permanent admin access to service accounts that only need it once a month. Here's how to implement JIT access with practical examples.
