dependency-fire-drill 0.1.0

Simulate supply chain attacks on your dependencies - see the blast radius before attackers do

dependency-fire-drill

Simulate supply chain attacks on your dependencies. See exactly what a compromised package can access.

What is this?

dependency-fire-drill is a security auditing CLI that sandboxes your project dependencies and logs their file system, network, and environment access attempts. It generates actionable "blast radius" reports showing the real attack surface of your dependency tree—helping you understand and mitigate supply chain attack risks before they happen.

Features

• Sandboxed execution – Isolates each dependency in a monitored runtime environment
• Comprehensive access logging – Tracks file system reads/writes, network connections, and environment variable access
• Multi-language support – Audits npm (JavaScript) and PyPI (Python) dependencies
• Blast radius reports – JSON and human-readable output showing attack surface per dependency
• CI/CD ready – GitHub Actions integration and machine-parseable output formats
• Zero-trust inspection – No assumptions; test what dependencies actually do, not what they claim

Quick Start

Installation

pip install dependency-fire-drill

Basic Usage

# Audit a Node.js project
dependency-fire-drill audit --package-json ./package.json --output report.json

# Audit a Python project
dependency-fire-drill audit --requirements ./requirements.txt --output report.json

# View a formatted report
dependency-fire-drill report --input report.json --format human

CI/CD Integration

Add to your GitHub Actions workflow:

- name: Run dependency fire drill
  uses: your-org/dependency-fire-drill@v1
  with:
    package-file: package.json
    fail-on-high: true

Usage Examples

Scan a single package:

dependency-fire-drill audit --package-json package.json

Generate a report with risk scoring:

dependency-fire-drill audit --package-json package.json \
  --sandbox-timeout 30 \
  --output blast-radius.json

Export for security dashboard:

dependency-fire-drill report --input blast-radius.json \
  --format json \
  --include-graph

The output includes:

• Per-dependency access logs (files, network IPs, env vars)
• Risk scores based on access patterns
• Dependency graph showing transitive risks
• Actionable recommendations

Tech Stack

• Language: Python 3.9+
• Sandboxing: OS-level process isolation with syscall monitoring
• Parsing: npm/PyPI manifest readers
• Output: JSON, human-readable text, CI integrations
