ShakerScan

open source

Personal open-source project (AGPL-3.0): a security testing platform for web apps, APIs, AI systems and connected devices, self-hosted in Docker with a web UI, REST API and CLI, and built to be driven by an AI coding agent in plain English.

  • Scan: repeatable DAST from a quick posture check to authorized active XSS/SQLi testing; Hunt: AI-assisted investigation using your own Codex, Claude Code or OpenCode session, with scope, budgets and evidence managed by the platform
  • AI Gate tests for chat, RAG, agent and MCP endpoints; Model Intake checks for model artifacts; continuous attack-surface monitoring; connected-device posture for TVs, cameras, printers and routers
  • One-line Docker install, Homebrew tap, Fleet workers for distributed execution; Enterprise edition adds SSO, roles and audit logging

This site

live demo

a3sec.net is its own case study: everything below is built and running here, all of it managed in Terraform.

  • Static site on S3 behind CloudFront with Origin Access Control: no public bucket, no website endpoint, all of it in Terraform.
  • Security headers and a strict CSP at the edge: no inline script on any page, scripts only from the site itself (plus cdnjs for the calculator charts).
  • A self-healing cost circuit breaker: one-minute CloudFront alarms, automatic restore, a budget scoped to the site's own services.
  • A public JSON API and MCP server on Lambda with input validation, rate limits, origin validation and tests.
  • Honeypot paths armed with Canarytokens, and a public traffic dashboard built from access logs that publishes aggregates only.
  • Everything readable without JavaScript and documented for agents in llms.txt.
  • Try it: type help in the terminal above, call /api, or point an MCP client at https://www.a3sec.net/mcp

SEC101

free course

An interactive course on everyday cybersecurity for non-specialists, in Ukrainian: the habits and settings that stop most real-world attacks.

  • Modules on passwords and managers, MFA, phishing, browser privacy, device hygiene, safe tools, and networking basics
  • Hands-on checks and quizzes instead of slides, so readers verify their own setup as they go
  • Live at sec101.a3sec.net
