By Erik Loyd, SaaS CEO and former COO/CFO of an AWS Premier Partner.

Updated May 2026

audit is an automated vulnerability-discovery agent from evilsocket. Point it at a codebase and it runs an eight-stage pipeline, recon, hunt, validate, trace, report, using narrow AI agents that deliberately argue with each other: a second agent on a different model tries to disprove the first one's findings. MIT-licensed and free.

The design borrows from Cloudflare's research that real bug-hunting needs many focused agents, not one giant model doing everything. It runs on your Claude Code subscription through the official Agent SDK, so there's no separate API key or metered bill if you already pay for Claude. Setup is more involved than a one-liner, and the agents run shell commands, so a disposable VM is the right call for untrusted code.

The catch: this drives an LLM to find bugs, which means false positives and missed issues both happen. It's a force multiplier for a security reviewer, not a replacement for one. If you do code audits and already have Claude, it's worth a serious look. If you expect it to certify your code as safe on its own, that's not what this is.

Free vs Self-Hosted vs Paid

fully free

Free: MIT, free. No paid tier for the tool.

Self-hosted: Runs locally and drives Claude through the official Agent SDK. Setup is more than a one-liner, and a disposable VM is recommended since agents run shell commands.

Paid: No charge for audit itself. It bills against your Claude Pro/Max subscription rather than a metered API key.

The tool is free. It runs on your existing Claude subscription, so no separate API bill.
