Socket audits your project and dependencies for vulnerabilities, license issues, risky dependencies, and more. Works with Python now, in addition to JS! Proactive security, easy installation process, and comprehensive open source protection. 2 min to install!

Hey everyone, I'm thrilled to share Socket for Python with you! 🤩 As a developer, I know how important it is to keep your apps secure and safe from risky dependencies. That's why my friends and I built Socket. With Socket, you can quickly evaluate the security and health of any JavaScript or Python package in just a few seconds. When you start your package search on https://socket.dev, you will get proactive information when you're about to use a malicious or risky package. Here are a few examples: * A safe package: https://socket.dev/npm/package/w... * An VERY unsafe package: https://socket.dev/npm/package/w... Socket uses "deep package inspection" to peel back the layers of a dependency to detect and block vulnerabilities and attacks before they strike. With Socket, you don't have to worry about alert fatigue or wasting time sifting through piles of meaningless alerts. By default, Socket only alerts you on the most critical security issues – potential supply chain attacks, known malware, typosquats, and other similarly severe issues. This means you can focus on what matters most – building great software – while Socket takes care of the security side of things. Exactly one year ago we announced Socket for JavaScript, a simple, developer-friendly GitHub App that protects your JavaScript apps from software supply chain attacks. Since then, thousands of organizations have adopted Socket – including Vercel, Brave, BBC, Expo, Storybook, Replit, Metamask – and many more. 🚀 To get started with Socket for Python, you can install the Socket GitHub App (https://socket.dev/github-app). It takes less than two minutes to add Socket protection to all of your Python projects. Have any questions or feedback? Let me know in the comments. ✨

Hi there! It's fantastic to see Socket expanding its reach to include Python packages. Security is a critical concern for developers, and having a tool like Socket to quickly evaluate the safety and health of dependencies can save a lot of time and hassle. I appreciate the deep package inspection that Socket offers to detect and block vulnerabilities and attacks before they can cause damage. I also appreciate the focus on critical security issues, which helps reduce alert fatigue and allows developers to prioritize their work efficiently. It's great to see that many organizations have already adopted Socket, and I hope that more will follow suit now that it's available for Python packages as well. Thanks for sharing Socket with us, and I look forward to seeing how it can help make our projects more secure.
