Tools

All-in-one security scanner for container images, filesystems, Git repos and Kubernetes clusters: finds known vulnerabilities, IaC misconfigurations, leaked secrets and software licenses, and generates SBOMs. Open source, maintained by Aqua Security.

Translates full PDF papers while preserving formulas, charts and layout (command pdf2zh), outputting monolingual and side-by-side bilingual PDFs. Uses Google Translate by default and can switch to DeepL, OpenAI and others; also runs as an MCP server.

HashiCorp's secrets management system: the vault CLI reads and writes secrets, issues dynamic database and cloud credentials on demand, encrypts and decrypts data, and manages leases and revocation. Needs a reachable Vault server.

Fast vulnerability scanner driven by YAML templates: uses a community template library to detect known vulnerabilities over HTTP, DNS, TCP, SSL and more, supports custom templates and plugs into CI/CD. Use only on targets you're authorized to test.

Detects hardcoded passwords, API keys and tokens in Git repos, files and stdin, and can run as a pre-commit hook or GitHub Action to block leaks. Now feature-frozen with security fixes only, as the author has moved on to Betterleaks.

Finds leaked credentials in Git, GitHub, S3, filesystems and more, recognizing 800+ secret types and checking with each service whether a key is still live to cut false positives.

CLI and library for evaluating and red-teaming LLM apps: compare prompts and model outputs in bulk, scan for security vulnerabilities and plug into CI/CD, with evals running locally. Now part of OpenAI and still open source under MIT.

Open-source reverse engineering framework and CLI: disassemble, debug, emulate and patch binaries across many architectures and file formats, scriptable through r2pipe or built-in JavaScript.

Encrypts secret values in YAML, JSON, ENV and INI config files using AWS, GCP or Azure KMS, age or PGP, so secrets can be safely committed to Git alongside code. A CNCF sandbox project.

All-in-one video translation and dubbing: chains speech recognition, subtitle translation, multi-speaker AI voiceover and audio-video muxing, with local or online models like Faster-Whisper, DeepSeek and Edge-TTS. cli.py supports headless batch runs. Needs FFmpeg.

Semantic multi-language static analysis: find vulnerabilities and bugs with rules that look like source code, across 30+ languages with custom rules. Scans locally by default without uploading code; cross-file analysis and Pro rules require sign-in.

Automattic's offline English grammar checker: checks spelling, grammar and word choice locally in milliseconds without sending your text anywhere. Homebrew installs harper-cli for batch-checking files (still experimental) and harper-ls for editors. English only.

CLI version of the VideoCaptioner subtitle assistant: transcribes courses, lectures and interviews, uses an LLM to segment, proofread and translate, then burns subtitles into the video. Free ASR and Bing translation work out of the box; LLM refinement needs an API key. Python 3.10 to 3.12.

Open-source grammar, spelling and style checker for 20+ languages including English, German, French, Spanish and Portuguese. Proofread drafts in bulk from the CLI or run a local HTTP checking server for agents. For writers, translators and language teachers. Needs Java 17 (Homebrew includes it).

Security baseline and compliance checks for AWS, Azure, GCP, Kubernetes, GitHub, M365 and more, with built-in CIS, NIST, PCI-DSS, SOC 2 and other frameworks. Generates reports or opens a local dashboard. Configure credentials for each cloud account first.

Classic network discovery and security auditing tool: host discovery, port scanning, service version and OS detection, plus vulnerability checks with NSE scripts. Only scan networks you are authorized to test.

Scans container images, filesystem directories and SBOMs for known vulnerabilities across major Linux distro packages and many language ecosystems, ranks risk by EPSS and KEV, and filters results with OpenVEX. Good for vulnerability gates in CI. Maintained by Anchore.

Scans files and directories for personal data such as names, emails and credit card numbers using Presidio Analyzer, with configurable entity types, confidence thresholds and ignore rules. Needs Python 3.10+ and a spaCy language model.

Google's official dependency vulnerability scanner: parses project lockfiles and container images, checks them against the OSV.dev database to find affected dependencies, and can suggest upgrade fixes (experimental).

OpenAI's official security CLI and TypeScript SDK: scans codebases to find, validate and fix security vulnerabilities, and can draft a SECURITY.md policy. Needs Node.js 22.13+, Python 3.10+, and a ChatGPT sign-in or API key.

Batch-translates text in manga, posters and screenshots with one command: detects text, runs OCR, erases the original and typesets the translation back into the image. Japanese-focused, with 20+ languages supported. Install from source (Python 3.10+); offline models, DeepL or LLM APIs.

Writing agent for novels, scripts, interactive fiction and long-form translation, with CLI, TUI and web workspace. Tracks worldbuilding, characters and foreshadowing, reviews and revises drafts, and works as a skill for other agents. Needs Node.js 22.16+ and a model API key such as Kimi or DeepSeek.

Open-source Simplified/Traditional Chinese converter: deterministic dictionary-based conversion (no LLM) covering variant characters and regional vocabulary for mainland China, Taiwan and Hong Kong, with limited Japanese kanji support. Runs offline; CLI plus Node.js and Python APIs.

Uses LLMs to translate EPUB, TXT, Markdown, SRT, PDF and other files into side-by-side bilingual editions, via OpenAI, Anthropic, Gemini and other APIs or DeepL and Google Translate. LLM APIs need your own key or a Codex subscription. Only translate content you have rights to.
