The score comes from our model.

• Show HN: IAMSentry – Paste an IAM policy, see privesc attack paths and fixes · score 6.0

  IAMSentry is a tool that analyzes AWS IAM policies to detect privilege escalation attack paths and suggests fixes, with CI/CD integration for GitHub pull requests. It fills a real security gap by making privesc detection accessible before policies merge, though the documentation is sparse and the technical depth is unknown.

• Show HN: Plexavo – simplest way to find AWS misconfigurations and attack paths · score 5.8

  Plexavo is a Python CLI tool that audits AWS accounts for security misconfigurations using your local credentials, producing a 0-100 score and plain-English HTML/PDF reports with remediation commands. It combines deterministic boto3 checks with optional Claude-based narration, and offers a Claude Code plugin integration. The project stands out for its local-first, no-AI-by-default design and beginner-friendly contribution model.
