@sandworm/guard NPM

Easy auditing & sandboxing for your JavaScript dependencies 🪱

TL;DR

Sandworm Guard intercepts all potentially harmful Node & browser APIs, like arbitrary code execution (child_process.exec) or network calls (fetch). It knows what packages are responsible for each call.
Simple obfuscation techniques can confuse static analysis tools, but Sandworm's dynamic analysis will always intercept risky calls at run time.
You can use Sandworm Guard to:
- audit your dependencies, monitor activity and permissions, and see what your code is doing under the hood using the Inspector;
- generate a security profile automatically from your test suite and do snapshot testing against it;
- secure your app against supply chain attacks by enforcing per-module permissions.
Install it as an npm module in your existing Node or browser app.
Works in Node v15+ and modern browsers. Beta support for browsers and sourcemaps.

Add the Sandworm init call as the very first line of your app:

require('@sandworm/guard').init({devMode: true}); // add `permissions: [...]` to enforce

Then launch the inspector tool with npm run sandworm or yarn sandworm to monitor activity and permissions.
