250 Clones in 4 Days! Thank You πŸ™Œ

Permi just hit a huge milestone, and I couldn't be more grateful. Now, I need your help to make it even better.

I'm building this in public, and your feedback is the most valuable tool I have.

How is your experience so far?

If you've run permi scan, please leave a comment with one of these words:

  • πŸ”΄ "broke" – if something crashed
  • 🟑 "confusing" – if it wasn't clear
  • 🟒 "useful" – if it helped

Alternatively, feel free to DM me with specific details. No pitchβ€”just trying to build something helpful.

AI-powered vulnerability scanner for Nigerian developers and global SMBs

Permi

PyPI version CI

AI-powered vulnerability scanner for Nigerian developers and global SMBs.

Permi scans live websites and source code for security vulnerabilities, then uses AI to filter out false positives β€” so you only see findings that actually matter.

Built in Nigeria. For Nigeria. Then for the world.


Two scan modes

--url β€” Live web scanning

Point Permi at any website. It crawls the pages, tests for SQL injection, XSS, and checks security headers on the running application.

permi scan --url https://yoursite.com
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

--path β€” Static source code scanning

Point Permi at a local folder or GitHub repository. It reads your code files, matches vulnerability patterns, and flags issues before they ship.

permi scan --path ./myapp
permi scan --path https://github.com/user/repo
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

What Permi detects

Web scanning (--url)

  • SQL Injection β€” error-based, boolean-based blind, time-based blind
  • Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) β€” reflected XSS with context-aware testing
  • Missing Security Headers β€” HSTS, CSP, X-Frame-Options, X-Content-Type-Options
  • …
