NPMScan - Malicious NPM Package Detection & Security Scanner

Posted by kryakrya_it@reddit | programming | View on Reddit | 1 comments

I built npmscan.com because npm has become a minefield. Too many packages look safe on the surface but hide obfuscated code, weird postinstall scripts, abandoned maintainers, or straight-up malware. Most devs don’t have time to manually read source every time they install something — so I made a tool that does the dirty work instantly.

What npmscan.com does:

The goal is simple:
👉 Make it obvious when a package is trustworthy — and when it’s not.

If you want to quickly “x-ray” your dependencies before you add them to your codebase, you can try it here:
