Show HN: Radar – Automated vulnerability scanning for SMBs (free in beta)

Tue, 02/17/2026 - 3:07pm

Hi HN, I built Radar to give small businesses and MSPs access to real vulnerability scanning without enterprise pricing or long-term contracts.

What it does: Enter a domain you own, verify ownership via DNS TXT record, and Radar runs a full scan — subdomain enumeration, DNS recon, port and service scanning, and vulnerability assessment (OWASP Top 10, infrastructure flaws, exposed assets). You get a PDF report in under 60 minutes.

What it is not: This isn't a penetration test. There's no manual exploitation or business logic testing. It's automated vulnerability scanning — the security baseline that most small businesses skip because pentests are $10k+ and confusing to buy.

Tech: Serverless on Google Cloud Run. Each scan spins up, runs, and tears down. Pay-as-you-go at $99/scan — no subscriptions.

Free during beta: Radar is in beta right now and Stripe is in test mode, so scans are free. Use test card 4111 1111 1111 1111 (exp: 11/11, cvc: 111) at checkout.

Happy to answer questions about the scanning methodology, architecture, or anything else.

Ask HN: Why) are you using AI to browse the web?

Tue, 02/17/2026 - 3:06pm

[Posting again in hopes of gaining further perspectives and insights]

Do you still browse the web the same way you did (say 5 years ago) or you use AI to browse, summarize, etc. on websites? Is it about speed/efficiency, instant answers (gratification), or something else?

I've noticed I'm less willing to read long articles now that I can get instant summaries. I'm curious to understand if AI is saving us time or is it training us to avoid effort.

Show HN: Vestauth – Auth for Agents

Tue, 02/17/2026 - 3:03pm

I"m the creator of dotenv and dotenvx. A month ago I started building a way for agents to store and rotate secrets as part of dotenvx and I ran into a problem. Agents can't sign themselves up autonomously. They need a way to do this - without a human in the loop.

I searched for solutions but wasn't happy with any so I created Vestauth.

Here's how it works:

It manages both the agent and the provider side. The agent with one command can set up a cryptographic identity avoiding human designed handshake mechanisms like OAuth. And on the provider side there is no management of API keys, no username and passwords, no users table even. Authentication works with a single line of code verifying this cryptographically.
