Go from hundreds of dependencies you can't review, to just a few you can!

Managing the security risk of third-party software at scale is difficult. Normal projects can easily have hundreds of dependencies; far too many to review by hand.

Hipcheck is designed to help you filter that list of dependencies down to just a few that appear concerning, and to give you the information you need to make a security decision quickly.

Hipcheck is a command line interface (CLI) tool for analyzing open source software packages and source repositories to understand their software supply chain risk. It analyzes a project's software development practices and detects active supply chain attacks to give you both a long-term and immediate picture of the risk from using a package.
