How this started I didn't plan to build a security tool. I'm a CS student in Toronto. My February plans involved catching up on assignments, maybe learning some Rust. Then OpenClaw went viral. If you missed it: OpenClaw is an open-source AI agent that hit 20,000 GitHub stars in 24 hours. It connects to your WhatsApp, email, calendar, terminal. It runs 24/7. It writes its own code for tasks it hasn't seen before. Kaspersky audited it: 512 vulnerabilities. Eight critical. A researcher got into Anthropic API keys, Telegram tokens, full admin access on exposed instances with Shodan. SecurityScorecard counted 135,000+ instances on the public internet, zero auth. More than 15,000 were vulnerable to remote code execution. 820 out of 10,700 ClawHub skills were malware. I read the Kaspersky report in my dorm and realized something basic: there's no tooling for this. Antivirus for malware, sure. Firewalls for networks. EDR for endpoints. But for AI agents running code on your machine with full d
