Reviewer scorecard
“Behavior analysis catches supply chain attacks that CVE databases miss. The GitHub integration flags suspicious packages in PRs.”
“Zero-config VPN that actually works. SSH, self-hosted services, and dev server access from anywhere. MagicDNS is genius.”
“Supply chain attacks are a real and growing threat. Socket's behavioral approach is smarter than just CVE scanning.”
“WireGuard-based, zero config, and the free tier is generous. Makes self-hosting accessible by solving network access.”
“As software supply chain attacks escalate, behavioral analysis becomes critical. Socket is ahead of the curve.”
“Tailscale is making private networking trivial. The mesh approach is the right architecture for distributed teams.”
