Score: 7.5/10 (Innovation: 7, Technical: 8, Documentation: 8, Utility: 7)

OpenHack is an open-source agentic security scanner that uses a multi-pipeline approach (recon, hunting, validation, verification) to find vulnerabilities in codebases, leveraging open-source LLMs. It offers sandbox and browser-based exploit verification, making it a cheaper alternative to proprietary tools like Claude Code Security.

Target audience: backend devs, devops, security engineers
