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

120+ security rules purpose-built for AI-generated code patterns across Python, JavaScript/TypeScript, Go, Rust, Java, 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 powered by Google's OSV database.

CI/CD & GitHub Security

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