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
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I run a security scan using qsa.sh?
You can run a free live scan by simply executing the command 'curl qsa.sh' in your terminal.
What tools power the qsa.sh security scan?
The scan utilizes naabu, nmap + vulners, and nuclei to map open ports, detect service versions, and identify known CVEs.
Do I need an account to use qsa.sh?
No account is required for free live scans, and nothing is stored.
What paid options are available for deeper analysis?
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 Watchdog
Watchdog is a dedicated local control plane designed specifically for developers managing subagents, agentic loops, and complex agent execution graphs. While parallel coding agents enable rapid development, coordinating concurrent tasks can quickly become complex and difficult to track. Watchdog solves this issue by offering a centralized, real-time dashboard of your entire agent network.
Rather than acting as a passive monitoring dashboard, Watchdog operates as an active control room. From a single workspace, developers can observe what each agent is working on, track real-time token consumption and costs, identify the specific model and reasoning effort in use, and map agent relationships. Crucially, Watchdog allows you to actively stop, steer, and control your running agents in real time.
To fit seamlessly into different developer environments and workflow preferences, Watchdog provides three distinct user interfaces:
- Yard: A unique, pixel-art-themed user interface.
- Operator: A dedicated, streamlined control interface.
- TUI: A Terminal User Interface tailored specifically for command-line environments.
Pros of Watchdog
- Provides a unified, real-time control plane to actively stop, steer, and manage all subagents
- Tracks critical execution metrics including token consumption, costs, and reasoning efforts
- Offers three flexible user surfaces: Yard (pixel art UI), Operator, and a terminal-based TUI
- Maps and visualizes complex relationships between parallel execution graphs and agentic loops
Cons of Watchdog
- Operates as a local control plane, which may not suit teams looking for a fully managed SaaS cloud solution
- Primarily tailored for coding-centric agents and execution graphs rather than general-purpose business automations
Frequently Asked Questions
What is Watchdog?
Watchdog is a local control plane designed to help developers manage, monitor, and actively direct subagents, agentic loops, and execution graphs from a single, unified view.
What are the three UI surfaces available in Watchdog?
Watchdog offers three user surfaces to match your preferred workflow: Yard (a unique pixel art UI), Operator (a dedicated, streamlined control interface), and a Terminal User Interface (TUI) for command-line environments.
Does Watchdog allow you to control agents, or is it read-only?
Watchdog is an active control room. It goes beyond simple passive monitoring, allowing you to actively stop, steer, and control all of your agents from a single workspace.
What details can I track for each agent using Watchdog?
You can monitor what each agent is currently working on, the specific model and reasoning effort being utilized, real-time token consumption, associated execution costs, and the relationships between different agents in your execution graph.
