Open-source tool · 2026

Forged

An open-source developer tool that scans a project's dependencies for malware and hijacked releases.

The problem

Software supply-chain attacks hide in brand-new package versions and quiet publisher changes. Developers needed a one-command check that explains what it found instead of dumping raw data.

What I built

  • Checks every dependency against known-malware reports
  • Flags versions published in the last 72 hours and unexpected publisher changes
  • Catches look-alike package names and suspicious install scripts
  • Every release is signed and traceable to the exact commit that built it

Where it is now

Published on npm as forged-cli, with over a thousand downloads.
