Knostic is open-sourcing OpenAnt, our LLM-based vulnerability discovery product, similar to Anthropic's Claude Code Security, but free. It helps defenders proactively find verified security flaws. Stage 1 detects. Stage 2 attacks. What survives is real.

Why open source?
Since Knostic's focus is on protecting coding agents and preventing them from destroying your computer and deleting your code (not vulnerability research), we're releasing OpenAnt for free. Plus, we like open source.
...And besides, it makes zero sense to compete with Anthropic and OpenAI.

Why OpenAnt is Different:
- A "unit" in OpenAnt is some code block (e.g., function, module, etc.) along with additional metadata that allows the LLM to analyze it with the proper context.

- Adversarial reflexion: Validating vulnerabilities with constrained personas

You can just download OpenAnt, but:

- Want it managed?
If you'd like us to manage it for you, plug-and-play it into your CI/CD, leave us a note on the project page to get on the waiting list.

- Scan your open source!
Submit the form on the project page for us to scan your repo for you.
