Sandchest

Sandchest: Security software using unrestricted AI models to find code vulnerabilities and test pull requests.

Sandchest acts like a hacker embedded in your team, using abliterated and unrestricted models to scan repositories for security vulnerabilities before attackers find them. It reviews pull requests, provides step-by-step attack paths, supplies proof of concept scripts, and generates prompts with regression tests for coding agents. The system operates with read-only repository access, using isolated virtual machines for each scan without shell or network access, ensuring code is not stored long-term. It is built for development teams using GitHub who want proactive security checks. It features customisable AI personas and clear pricing based on account credits rather than per-seat charges.
