Threat Intelligence for the Application Layer

Public-source threat intelligence on the API, AI and business-logic attack surface. Built for security teams who'd rather know now than read about it later.

The expanded edition: the open-source ai-surface scanner run across 50 of the most popular AI projects on GitHub, about 2.6M combined stars, cataloging 7,615 AI attack surfaces. The biggest AI attack surface is not the model, it is the ordinary REST API underneath it. 5,481 of those surfaces are conventional HTTP endpoints and 95% of everything found can only be confirmed safe or exploitable against a running application. An exposure report, not an incident report.

The open-source ai-surface scanner run across 19 of the most popular AI projects on GitHub, about 941k combined stars. Agents and RAG are now the baseline, the biggest AI attack surface is still ordinary BOLA-prone REST, and 100% of the applications would trip an AI-governance rule. An exposure report, not an incident report: what is being shipped into the application layer, before anyone attacks it.
