The Problem

Over 50% of AI-generated code contains security vulnerabilities. Copilot, Cursor, and Claude Code are transforming how we write software—but they're also introducing patterns that traditional SAST tools weren't built to catch.

hackmenot is purpose-built for the AI era: it detects these vulnerabilities, provides auto-fix suggestions, and explains why AI makes these mistakes so you learn as you secure.


Quick Start

Get scanning in 30 seconds:

# Install via pip
pip install hackmenot

# Or with Docker
docker pull ghcr.io/b0rd3aux/hackmenot:latest

# Scan your code
hackmenot scan .

# Scan with auto-fix
hackmenot scan . --fix

# Scan dependencies for hallucinated packages
hackmenot deps .

That's it. No config files, no setup, no API keys.


Features

Scan & Detect

100+ security rules purpose-built for AI-generated code patterns across Python, JavaScript/TypeScript, Go, and Terraform.

Auto-Fix

Don't just find problems—fix them. Interactive mode lets you review and apply fixes one by one.

Dependency Scanning

Detect hallucinated packages (dependencies that don't exist), typosquats, and known CVEs.

hackmenot deps . --check-vulns
Dependency scanning

CI/CD & GitHub Security

Native GitHub Action with SARIF support. Findings appear directly in GitHub's Security tab.

Installation

pip (recommended)

pip install hackmenot

Docker

# Pull image
docker pull ghcr.io/b0rd3aux/hackmenot:latest

# Scan current directory
docker run --rm -v $(pwd):/workspace ghcr.io/b0rd3aux/hackmenot scan .

From source

pip install git+https://github.com/b0rd3aux/hackmenot.git@v1.0.0

Requires Python 3.10+

Usage

# Basic scan
hackmenot scan .

# Scan specific path
hackmenot scan src/

# Set minimum severity (critical, high, medium, low)
hackmenot scan . --severity medium

# Fail CI on high+ findings
hackmenot scan . --fail-on high

# Output as JSON or SARIF
hackmenot scan . --format json
hackmenot scan . --format sarif

# Auto-fix all issues
hackmenot scan . --fix

# Interactive fix mode
hackmenot scan . --fix-interactive

# Preview fixes without applying
hackmenot scan . --fix --dry-run --diff

# Scan only changed files (great for CI)
hackmenot scan . --changed-since origin/main

# Dependency scanning
hackmenot deps .
