About whack.sh
whack.sh is a specialized security tool designed to uncover sophisticated threats, malware, phishing sites, and Traffic Distribution Systems (TDS) that traditional datacenter-only IP scanners routinely miss.
According to FBI IC3 warnings, modern TDS kits utilize IP fingerprinting to hide their payloads, specifically targeting residential, mobile, or specific Autonomous System Numbers (ASNs) while hiding from standard scanners. whack.sh solves this by allowing users to scan any URL simultaneously across multiple egress options—including datacenter, residential, mobile, VPN, and Bring Your Own (BYO) egress.
By diffing the captures across these various network environments, whack.sh exposes hidden cloaking mechanisms. The platform features a curl-driven API that manages all tiers, and datacenter egress is free for the first 5MB per scan.
Pros of whack.sh
- Scans URLs simultaneously across datacenter, residential, mobile, VPN, and BYO egress options
- Exposes cloaking, TDS kits, phishing sites, and malware hidden from standard datacenter-only IP scanners
- Performs capture diffing to easily spot discrepancies in responses based on IP types
- Free datacenter egress available (first 5MB per scan)
- API-driven via curl for all available tiers
Cons of whack.sh
- Requires understanding of advanced threat vectors like TDS kits and IP fingerprinting
- Paid tiers or BYO options are necessary beyond the initial free datacenter egress limits
Frequently Asked Questions
What problem does whack.sh solve?
Traditional datacenter-only scanners miss advanced threats because TDS kits use IP fingerprinting to hide payloads from standard IPs. whack.sh scans URLs across residential, mobile, VPN, datacenter, and BYO egress options at once and diffs the captures to expose hidden malware, phishing, and cloaking.
What egress options are supported?
whack.sh supports datacenter, residential, mobile, VPN, and Bring Your Own (BYO) egress options.
Is there a free tier available?
Datacenter egress is free for the first 5MB per scan, and a curl API drives every tier, whether free or paid.
About valv
valv is an essential AI infrastructure and data analytics tool designed to make your databases safe for AI agents to query. As development teams increasingly rely on autonomous AI agents and large language models (LLMs) to interact with live data, security and access control have become paramount.
With valv, you can easily connect major databases and data platforms—including Postgres, MySQL, ClickHouse, and PostHog—in a single place. The platform allows you to scope each role down to the specific row level. This ensures that your team's AI agents can work efficiently on live data while never exposing sensitive information or seeing more than you explicitly allow.
Pros of valv
- Securely connect Postgres, MySQL, ClickHouse, and PostHog in one unified platform
- Scope agent and user roles down to the row level for granular access control
- Allows AI agents to work directly with live data safely
- Prevents unauthorized data exposure by restricting agents to only what is allowed
Cons of valv
- Supported database integrations are currently limited to Postgres, MySQL, ClickHouse, and PostHog based on current specifications
- Requires proper role configuration to ensure comprehensive coverage
- Focused primarily on database safety for AI agents rather than general database management
Frequently Asked Questions
What databases does valv support?
valv currently supports connecting Postgres, MySQL, ClickHouse, and PostHog.
How does valv protect sensitive database information from AI agents?
valv allows you to scope each role down to the row level, ensuring that AI agents only see the data you explicitly permit them to access.
Can AI agents work on live data using valv?
Yes, valv is specifically designed to let your team's agents work on live data safely without exposing unauthorized information.
