Strix: Your Vibe Code Needs a Hacker, Not a Linter
Vibe coding is fast. Ship features in hours, iterate before lunch. But here is the uncomfortable truth: the faster you ship, the more holes you leave. Static analysis catches maybe 30% of real vulnerabilities, and most developers skip it anyway because it screams about everything.
Strix takes a different approach. Instead of scanning your code like a textbook, it runs a team of specialized AI agents that actually attack your app. One agent maps the attack surface. Another tries SQL injection. A third validates findings with working proof-of-concepts. A fourth writes the report. They collaborate like a real pentest team, sharing context and working in parallel.
The key difference from traditional security tools: Strix proves vulnerabilities exist by exploiting them. No more drowning in false positives. If the report says you have an XSS vulnerability, there is a working PoC attached. The whole thing runs for $5-20 per scan depending on target size.
Strix just launched on Product Hunt with a focus on vibe coders specifically. The GitHub repo sits at 23.6K stars and the tool integrates directly into GitHub Actions, so you can block insecure code on every PR without changing your workflow. Open-source under Apache 2.0.
