I just released Warden v2.0, a CLI tool that scans your Node.js dependencies for malicious packages,<br><br> typosquatting, and supply chain attacks. </p> <p>I got tired of not knowing if my dependencies were safe. npm audit shows CVEs, but what about packages hiding malware<br> with obfuscated code or stealing your AWS credentials? So I built this.</p> <p>What it does:</p> <ul> <li>Scans node_modules for dangerous patterns (obfuscation, credential theft, system execution, etc.)</li> <li>Runs npm/pnpm/yarn audits with readable output </li> <li>Monitors your network in real-time to see what your node processes are doing</li> <li>Checks for license compliance </li> <li>Enforces security policies across your team </li> </ul> <p>All 100% local - no data leaves your machine.</p> <p>Try it:<br><br> npm install -g warden-cli<br> warden scan .<br> warden monitor<br> warden doctor</p> <p>Feedback and contributions welcome!</p> <p><a href="https://github.com/camilolb/warden/" rel="noopener noreferrer">https://github.com/camilolb/warden/</a></p> <p><a href="https://media2.dev.to/dynamic/image/width=800%2Cheight=%2Cfit=scale-down%2Cgravity=auto%2Cformat=auto/https%3A%2F%2Fdev-to-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fuploads%2Farticles%2Fysr1yrfjmriiuiyrmkk4.gif" class="article-body-image-wrapper"><img src="https://media2.dev.to/dynamic/image/width=800%2Cheight=%2Cfit=scale-down%2Cgravity=auto%2Cformat=auto/https%3A%2F%2Fdev-to-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fuploads%2Farticles%2Fysr1yrfjmriiuiyrmkk4.gif" alt=" " width="814" height="554"></a></p> cli node security showdev
