I’m one of the creators of Hokage. We built this because we were tired of the usuall spreadsheet hell that comes with running open-source security tools at any reasonable scale.
If you are a small-to-mid-sized team, you likely use tools like Semgrep, Trivy, or Gitleaks. They are great scanners, but they all output different formats, don’t talk to each other, and result in hundreds of duplicate findings that make triage impossible.
Hokage is a self-hosted orchestration layer that attempts to fix this. It runs your scanners and normalizes the output into a Canonical Finding Schema (CFS). This allows us to:
1. Deduplicate findings (e.g., if a linter and a SAST tool find the same bug, we merge them).
2. Provide a single dashboard for triage across multiple repos.
3. Standardize fields (severity, confidence, location) regardless of the underlying engine.
This is an Alpha (Public Preview). It is not feature-complete, and the UX is still rough around the edges. We are releasing now because we need feedback on the data model:
1. Does our canonical schema cover your use cases?
2. Is the deduplication logic too aggressive?
3. Which scanners should we write adapters for next?
You can spin it up locally with Docker Compose to test it out. We’d love to hear your thoughts (and criticism) on the approach.
