About qsa.sh
qsa.sh is a developer-focused, terminal-based security tool designed to provide an instant external security scan of your server's public IP address. By simply running a single command—curl qsa.sh—users can evaluate how their host appears to the outside internet in roughly 30 seconds.
Under the hood, the tool leverages industry-standard scanning utilities including naabu, nmap (combined with vulners), and nuclei to map out open ports, detect service versions, and flag known CVEs. Results are streamed directly into your terminal.
Emphasizing privacy and convenience, free scans run live with no account required and nothing stored on external servers. For more thorough testing, optional paid tiers include Pro (covering all 65,535 ports asynchronously) and Deep (delivering the full nuclei vulnerability firehose directly to your email).
Pros of qsa.sh
- Extremely fast and simple one-command execution via curl
- No account creation required for free live scans
- Nothing is stored, ensuring user privacy
- Combines powerful security engines like naabu, nmap, and nuclei directly in your terminal
Cons of qsa.sh
- Free scans are limited compared to Pro and Deep tiers
- Comprehensive scanning options (like all 65,535 ports or full nuclei firehose) require paid or one-time upgrades
- Terminal-only interface may not suit users who prefer a graphical dashboard

The paid Pro tier scans all 65,535 ports asynchronously, while the one-time Deep tier delivers the full nuclei vulnerability firehose straight to your email.
About Privent 2.0
Privent 2.0 is a dedicated runtime data control solution designed specifically to secure n8n workflows. In standard AI workflows, agents frequently transmit raw, sensitive information—including emails, database records, API keys, and secrets—to Large Language Models (LLMs) on every run. While n8n's native Guardrails node can redact this information, that redaction is permanent, preventing the workflow from reclaiming the original data once processed.
Privent 2.0 resolves this issue by tokenizing PII and secrets before they reach the LLM, and then safely reversing the tokenization at a trusted sink to restore the original data. As an Official n8n Integration Partner, it is built for production teams running complex agent workflows that cannot afford a single leaked record. For teams requiring strict data boundaries and absolute compliance, Privent 2.0 also features a Local mode that runs entirely offline.
Pros of Privent 2.0
- Tokenizes PII and secrets before they reach LLMs, avoiding permanent data loss
- Safely reverses tokenization at a trusted sink to restore original data
- Offers a Local mode that runs fully offline
- Official n8n Integration Partner built specifically for production workflows
Cons of Privent 2.0
- Focuses specifically on n8n workflows, which may limit teams using other orchestration platforms
- Requires configuring a trusted sink to reverse the tokenization process
Frequently Asked Questions
How does Privent 2.0 differ from n8n's native Guardrails node?
While n8n's native Guardrails node permanently redacts sensitive information (making it unrecoverable), Privent 2.0 tokenizes PII and secrets before they reach the LLM, allowing the tokenization to be safely reversed later at a trusted sink.
Does Privent 2.0 support offline environments?
Yes, Privent 2.0 features a Local mode that runs fully offline, making it suitable for teams with strict security and compliance mandates.
Is Privent 2.0 officially integrated with n8n?
Yes, Privent is an Official n8n Integration Partner, designed specifically for production teams running AI agent workflows.
