Orchid Malware Scanner
TL;DR
A brutal reality check showing that thousands of GitHub repos are basically landmines for your local dev environment.
Who is this actually for?
DevOps leads and security-conscious developers who are tired of the 'trust but don't verify' culture in open source.
The Good
- Exposes the massive scale of supply chain attacks that most devs ignore.
- Highlights why you should never run a script from a random repo without reading the source first.
The Catch (Potential Downsides)
Knowing there are 10k malicious repos is one thing, but actually preventing your junior devs from installing them is a whole different headache. It requires a level of manual auditing that most teams just don't have the stomach for.
