I Built a Free Tool to Find Quantum-Vulnerable Cryptography in Your Code

The Problem: Most codebases are full of quantum-vulnerable crypto and nobody knows it

What is "quantum-vulnerable"? (RSA, ECDSA, Shor's algorithm, harvest now decrypt later)

Introducing crypto-scanner (demo with screenshots)

How it works (architecture, pattern matching, certificate parsing)

What I found scanning real projects (results, common patterns)

Getting started (install, basic usage, CI/CD integration)

What's next (web dashboard, GitHub Action, more languages)

Call to action: Try it, star it, contribute
