Security tools and resources
Tools and resources for finding, testing and fixing security problems in software and systems. This page lists 17 security tools and resources; the latest additions are Stroq, cs-video-courses and SkillSpector. Open any project to see what it lets you do, what its creator says you need and its original source.
Projects to explore
- ECC Give your coding agent a plan, test and review routine
Install a ready-made routine so your AI coding agent plans before it builds, tests its changes and reviews its own work from a fresh context.
- Stroq Check AI coding agent sessions for leaked keys
Stroq scans your recent Claude Code and Codex sessions for keys that left your machine.
- open-code-review Get line-by-line review comments on your code changes
Get AI review comments pinned to specific lines of your Git changes before a colleague looks at them.
- security-audit-skill Turn your coding agent into a six-phase security auditor
A skill you install into an AI coding agent so that "audit this codebase" runs a structured hunt for vulnerabilities rather than one opinionated read.
- cs-video-courses Find university computer science video lectures
Find college-level computer science courses with video lectures, sorted by topic.
- vphone-cli Boot a virtual iPhone on an Apple Silicon Mac for research
A command-line tool that boots a virtual iPhone on an Apple Silicon Mac using Apple’s own Virtualization framework together with the infrastructure Apple built for Private Cloud Compute research.
- dive-into-llms Work through university lab exercises on large language models
A free hands-on tutorial series on large language models, grown out of two courses at Shanghai Jiao Tong University on frontier language technology and AI security.
- rea Ask AI to explain an app without its source code
REA lets an AI assistant investigate an app, website, or program file and report what it finds with evidence.
- mvt Scan a phone for forensic traces of spyware infection
The Mobile Verification Toolkit (MVT) is a set of command-line tools for gathering forensic evidence from Android and iOS devices that may help identify a spyware infection.
- Ghidra Take a compiled program apart and read what it does
Open a compiled program for Windows, macOS or Linux and read a reconstructed version of its code to work out what it does.
- OpenShell Let AI agents use files and passwords without ever seeing them
OpenShell is NVIDIA’s open-source runtime for running AI agents safely: each agent gets an isolated workspace (a sandbox), and you write a policy saying what it may touch.
- SkillSpector Check AI agent skills for risks before installing
SkillSpector scans AI agent skills for vulnerabilities and malicious patterns, for developers who want to know whether a skill is safe before installing it.
- OpenBao A community-run vault for your secrets, keys, and certificates
Keep passwords, API keys and certificates in one encrypted store on your own servers, and control who can use each one.
- agent-skills Install reviewed add-on skills for your AI coding assistant
A catalogue of skills — add-ons that teach an AI coding assistant a particular job — that the maintainers check before listing.
- Strix Test app vulnerabilities and get repair guidance
Test running apps for security flaws with this tool for developers and security teams, producing exploit evidence and repair guidance.
- reverse-skill Point your AI assistant at the right reverse-engineering playbook
A skill router pack for AI coding assistants that encounter reverse-engineering tasks: an APK, a binary, encrypted frontend JavaScript, a CTF challenge, or a penetration-testing target.
- MiMo-V2.6-Distill-Qwen-9B A smaller 9B agent model distilled from a larger Xiaomi model
MiMo-V2.6-Distill-Qwen-9B is a 9-billion-parameter model made by fine-tuning Qwen3.5-9B on data generated by Xiaomi's larger MiMo-V2.6 models, a technique called distillation where a smaller model is trained to imitate a bigger one's outputs rather than being trained on raw internet text from scratch.
