Continuous trust-scoring layer for GitHub that fingerprints newly-pushed repositories against known malware campaigns, typosquat patterns, and dependency-confusion vectors, surfacing risk scores insid
10,000 trojan repos slipped through GitHub's own defenses, proving that reactive takedown is broken and every org pulling open-source dependencies is one typo away from compromise
Built for Security teams, open source maintainers, and enterprises using GitHub who need continuous monitoring for malicious repository distribution at scale.
Embed as a zero-config GitHub App so the detection lives in the supply chain workflow rather than being a separate portal developers ignore

Why this is a gap
Surfaced from a high-intensity complaint with clear willingness to pay and a specific, reachable audience.
The market
Security teams, open source maintainers, and enterprises scanning GitHub for malware distribution. 10 monthly searches suggests extremely niche, specialized demand; the pain is real but the buyer pool is small.
Competition & the opening
GitHub's native security scanning, Snyk, and Dependabot catch vulnerabilities but don't flag malicious repository distribution at the scale the pain signal describes (10,000 repos). The gap is continuous malware detection tuned to catch trojanized forks and mirrors.
What's hard to build
Detecting malware distribution at scale requires ML trained on malicious binaries, static analysis of repository history, and real-time scanning across millions of repos. False positives kill credibility; false negatives are security failures. Both are costly.
Why now
Open-source and GitHub supply chain attacks are rising; enterprises need automated scanning at the repository level.
