About BinShield

BinShield is built by Ashlr AI with a single goal: give every developer and security team deep visibility into the native binaries hidden inside open-source packages. We believe developers deserve to know exactly what compiled code their dependencies execute — not just the JavaScript or Python source, but the .node addons, shared libraries, and pre-built binaries that run with full system access.

99.8% of npm malware that achieves real-world impact uses compiled native components — pre-built binaries, native addons, or compiled extensions that bypass source-level analysis. Traditional security scanners read source code. They parse JavaScript, match CVE databases, and flag known-bad patterns. But none of them look inside the .node files, the .so libraries, or the pre-built executables bundled in packages.

This blind spot is massive. Packages like bcrypt, sharp, and sqlite3 ship native binaries that make network calls, access the filesystem, and link against system libraries — and until BinShield, no tool checked what was inside them.

BinShield is founded and built by Mason Wyatt. We are focused on making binary-level supply-chain security accessible to every development team.
