A code scanner with nothing on the server to leak.
We scan, then we forget. You keep what you want.
Most "security" tools ask you to upload your source to their cloud and trust their retention policy. AllScanTool inverts that: the Delivery-Layer Engine runs the scan in your browser, checks source for SQL injection, XSS, hardcoded credentials, and insecure functions, and never sends your code anywhere. The privacy guarantee is architectural, not a promise in a settings page — there is no server-side store to subpoena, breach, or train on. No logs. No storage. No retention. Your code stays private.
Why stateless matters here
This audience reads the architecture before the pitch. These are the failure modes AllScanTool is designed to not have.
Uploading source to scan it is the vulnerability
Cloud scanners turn your proprietary code into someone else's database row. A client-side scan removes the upload from the threat model entirely.
“We don't retain it” is unverifiable
A retention promise is a policy you cannot audit. No retention is only credible when there is no server-side store in the first place.
AI-assisted code ships faster than it is reviewed
Indie teams move quickly with generated code; the gap between “compiles” and “safe” is exactly where injectable queries and XSS slip through.
Secrets get committed in the rush to ship
A hardcoded key in a prototype that becomes production is a classic bootstrapper footgun, and the kind of finding a fast local scan exists to catch.
Heavyweight tooling does not fit a solo workflow
Enterprise SAST means agents, pipelines, and dashboards. Sometimes you want to paste a file, get findings, and move on — no account on the data path.
You are the whole security team
No AppSec function, no review board — just you. A scanner that gives a fast, private second opinion is worth more than one you cannot trust with the code.
Ask AST
The questions a skeptical engineer asks before running anything against their source.
QWhere does my code actually go when I scan it — what leaves my machine?
Nothing. The Delivery-Layer Engine runs in your browser; the source you paste stays in page memory, is analyzed locally, and is dropped when you leave. There is no upload and no server-side copy to retain.
QI used an LLM to write this query layer — what should I verify before it goes to production?
Paste it in. AST flags concatenated-input queries as SQL injection and shows the parameterized fix, so generated code gets a real review before it ships, not just a compile check.
QCan it catch a secret I left in a prototype before I push the repo public?
Yes. AST detects hardcoded credentials, API keys, and tokens in source, so you can strip them before a quick prototype becomes a public commit.
QI am one person shipping fast — what does this catch that a linter does not?
AST focuses on security patterns: injection, XSS sinks, insecure functions like eval and shell exec, and weak crypto — the production-safety issues style linters are not built to flag.
