For Indie Hackers
Move fast. Just don't break security on the way out the door.
We scan, then we forget. You keep what you want.
Shipping speed is the whole advantage when you are bootstrapping — but the same velocity that gets you to launch is how an injectable query or a hardcoded key ends up in production. AllScanTool gives you a fast security check that fits a one-person workflow: paste your source, and the Delivery-Layer Engine flags SQL injection, XSS, hardcoded credentials, and insecure functions right in your browser. No pipeline to wire up, no account on the data path, no code leaving your machine. No logs. No storage. No retention. Your code stays private.
The indie hacker security gap
You wear every hat, you ship on weekends, and security is the hat that quietly gets skipped. These are the moments that bite.
Speed is the strategy — and the risk
Shipping fast is how you win as a solo founder, but the same pace is how an unsanitized input or exposed endpoint reaches real users.
The prototype became the product
That weekend MVP with a hardcoded key and a quick query never got rewritten — it just quietly started taking real customers and real payments.
AI and glue code from everywhere
You assemble features from LLM output, Stack Overflow, and npm. It works on first run, but no one has checked any of it for security.
No security budget, no AppSec hire
Enterprise scanners and pentests are priced for funded teams. As a bootstrapper, the security review is whatever you can do yourself.
One breach can end a one-person company
A leaked customer database has no PR team to absorb it. For a solo SaaS, a single incident can be the thing that ends the business.
You are founder, dev, and security team
There is no one to catch what you miss. A fast, private second opinion on your code is the closest thing to a teammate you have.
Ask AST
The security questions that come up between “it works” and “it's live.”
QI'm launching this weekend — what should I scan before I flip it to live?
Paste your handlers and data-access code. AST flags SQL injection, XSS sinks, insecure functions, and exposed secrets so you can fix the high-risk items before launch instead of patching them after a user finds them.
QMy MVP started as a prototype — how do I find the shortcuts that are now in production?
Run the files you wrote fastest first. AST surfaces concatenated queries, hardcoded keys, and unsafe functions — the exact corners that get cut under a launch deadline — with the fix for each.
QI stitched this feature together from AI and npm — is any of it unsafe?
Paste the assembled code. AST does not care where a line came from; it checks the actual source for injection, XSS, and insecure patterns so mixed-origin code gets one consistent review.
QDid I leave any API keys or secrets in the code before I push this repo?
Yes, AST detects hardcoded credentials, API keys, and tokens in source so you can move them to environment variables before a fast commit turns into a public leak.
