Full sandboxed scanning and live recon need a Linux host, Docker is the easiest way to run everything.
Synapse is a security tool built for teams doing authorized security testing, such as penetration testing engagements and defensive security work. It brings together several tasks that security teams usually handle with separate tools: scanning a codebase for known vulnerabilities, generating a software bill of materials, checking licenses, finding secrets accidentally left in code, and catching misconfigured infrastructure files. All of this happens behind a single gate, and the tool is built to run inside a company's own controlled process rather than as a loose collection of scripts. A key idea behind Synapse is that scanning results should be reproducible: the same code should always produce the same report, with no unpredictable model output sitting in the final report path. Any place where automated analysis is used, results are checked by a distinct verifier or a human before anything happens. Every piece of evidence collected during a scan is linked together so tampering can be detected, and if that chain is broken the report will not be produced. Synapse also checks whether a vulnerable piece of code is actually reachable from the rest of the program, rather than just flagging every match against a vulnerability database. This helps teams focus on real risk instead of chasing every possible match. It supports many programming ecosystems, including npm, PyPI, Maven, Go, and Cargo, and can output in standard formats used by other security tools. To try it, users can download a prebuilt binary and run a scan from the command line, use a Docker container that already includes the needed tools, or run the entire system including its web dashboard with Docker Compose. Running it fully requires a Linux machine to unlock hardened, sandboxed execution of underlying tools, though the core scanning and reporting still work without that. The project is licensed under Apache 2.0 and is written primarily in Go.
A governed security scanning tool that combines vulnerability detection, software bill of materials, license checks, and tamper-evident reporting for authorized penetration testing.
Mainly Go. The stack also includes Go, Docker, CycloneDX.
Apache 2.0 license lets you use, modify, and distribute the code freely, including commercially, as long as you keep copyright and license notices.
Setup difficulty is rated moderate, with roughly 30min to a first successful run.
Mainly developer.
