Socket Dev

Founded by Feross Aboukhadijeh in 2021

An AI-powered Software Composition Analysis (SCA) and developer-first application security platform designed to proactively detect and block open-source supply chain attacks.

Cost

Free Trier, Paid

Socket is an innovative application security (AppSec) platform focused heavily on preventing zero-day supply chain attacks, malware infiltration, and typosquatting in open-source codebases. Traditional SCA tools rely almost exclusively on passive, reactive CVE (Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures) databases, meaning they only alert developers after a vulnerability has been publicly documented. Socket takes a completely different approach by analyzing the actual behavior of code dependencies in real time. Driven by deep behavioral analysis and AI-powered code inspection, Socket looks at what a package actually does—such as identifying unexplained network access, file system manipulation, shell executions, obfuscated code, or hidden install scripts. It operates directly inside developer workflows to safely intercept and block malicious packages before they can ever be merged into a production repository.

What Socket Dev does

Analyze every incoming pull request for newly introduced or updated dependency risks.Block zero-day malware and malicious scripts from installing inside local developer machines or CI/CD pipelines.Generate and export legally compliant Software Bills of Materials (SBOMs) across multi-language monorepos.Perform "reachability analysis" to determine whether a vulnerable line of open-source code is actually executable in production.Audit and optimize active package architectures to eliminate redundant or unmaintained transitive dependencies automatically.
