VulnHunter: Capital One’s open-source, agentic AI code security tool.
ph3t•1h ago
All these security/vulnerability scanning harnesses look more or less the same. Not sure what’s the point of bragging or publishing about them anymore, there’s no moat

They're desperate for the hype.

Eh, Capital One has long been surprisingly progressive on open source and whatnot. They were one of the first to properly adopt OAuth to connect accounts, too, back when Plaid/Mint/etc. were mostly proxying logins.

Put a wrapper around nessus, stave off a "below strong" rating another six months

I know a few companies that did this about 20 years back (cough Comodo). Charge customers for a free Nessus report that's been rebranded. Profit.

Why does this feel like an exec trying to justify token spend?

This is a sad. Makes me want to move my bank accounts.

> If you intend to use VulnHunter on Anthropic's first-party platforms (Claude API / Claude Code), we strongly recommend enrolling first via the verification portal.

Has anyone actually had success with this? I applied for my company several weeks ago, and never heard back.

Seems to be very random. I've heard stories like yours, as well as companies who applied and are approved same day.

If there is a pentester here who uses mitmproxy, the security skills below (distilled from 4000 h1 disclosures) might help -https://github.com/instavm/security-skills

this is just a side project though for me

Wasn't Capital One founded on the premise of massive-scale market and product experimentation? Makes sense that they would design tools that match that approach.
_pdp_•6m ago
IMHO these type of projects are not tools per-se but methodologies. I think this is a better framing since that's exactly what they are - a bunch of markdown files that describe in general terms how to perform an assessment aligned to some principles.

Btw, these type of methodologies are used all the time. Practically every security consultancy has them so adding them to an LLM makes a lot of sense.
