About

Socket is an open-source supply chain security platform that analyzes npm, PyPI, and other package registry submissions in real time to detect malicious code, dependency confusion attacks, typosquatting, and known vulnerabilities before they reach developer machines or CI pipelines. Founded by Feross Aboukhadijeh, Socket monitors package behavior — not just CVE lists — scanning for suspicious patterns like network access, shell execution, and obfuscated code that traditional vulnerability scanners miss. The platform integrates directly into GitHub pull requests, flagging risky dependency changes before they are merged.
