Does it cost money?

Its page mentions “hosted version”. The code here may be free, but some features or the service it connects to may cost money. Check their pricing page before you rely on it.

Why this grade?

Its checks add up to 85 out of 100, but the score is capped at 69 because the owner archived it, so nobody fixes problems anymore. 55 to 69 is a C. Each area gets its own letter, and the overall grade can be at most one letter better than the weakest safety area ("Is it open about itself?" only costs points). Open a row to see what we checked.

Area grade ADo people trust it?, 30 out of 30 points
  • Good: Stars. 3,397 people starred it.

    Stars are like bookmarks. Malware repos rarely have many real users, and lots of stars means lots of people have looked at it. Stars can be bought, so we also check how fast they came.

  • Good: Forks. 371 copies made by other developers.

    A fork is a copy another developer made to build on. Real projects get copied; fake ones rarely do.

  • Good: Owner history. Organization created 2.7 years ago.

    Scammers use brand-new accounts that get banned and replaced. An owner who has been around for years has more to lose.

Area grade DIs anyone looking after it?, 13 out of 25 points
  • Poor: Recent updates. The owner archived it. Nobody fixes problems anymore.

    Software nobody updates stops getting security fixes.

  • Good: Track record. Repo is 1.9 years old.

    Older projects have had more time for problems to be spotted and reported.

  • Good: Releases. Publishes versioned releases.

    A release is an official, finished version. Without one, you download whatever is in the code that day.

Area grade BIs it open about itself?, 12 out of 15 points
  • Good: License. Uses the Apache-2.0 license.

    A license says whether you're allowed to use it. Serious projects almost always have one.

  • Good: Instructions. Has a README that explains the project.

    A README explains what the project does and how to use it. Malware often has a thin or copied one.

  • So-so: Security contact. No security policy file.

    A security policy tells people how to report problems privately, so they get fixed before attackers use them.

Area grade AAny malware tricks?, 30 out of 30 points
  • Good: No warning signs found. We didn't find any of the common malware tricks.

    We look for tricks that keep showing up in malware: requests to turn off antivirus, locked zip files, cracks and free premium, hidden code, and AI instruction files that try to take over your assistant. Serious ones cap the grade, however popular the repo is.

Does it have good security habits? Not checked: the independent OpenSSF Scorecard check has no data for this repo yet, so the grade uses the other areas.

Checked Oct 23, 2026. We re-check this repo every night. A grade is a set of warning signs, not a guarantee. How we score
