NPMScan - Malicious NPM Package Detection & Security Scanner

I built npmscan.com because npm has become a minefield. Too many packages look safe on the surface but hide obfuscated code, weird postinstall scripts, abandoned maintainers, or straight-up malware. Most devs don’t have time to manually read source every time they install something β€” so I made a tool that does the dirty work instantly.

What npmscan.com does:

  • Scans any npm package in seconds
  • Detects malicious patterns, hidden scripts, obfuscation, and shady network calls
  • Highlights abandoned or suspicious maintainers
  • Shows full file structure + dependency tree
  • Assigns a risk score based on real security signals
  • No install needed β€” just search and inspect

The goal is simple:
πŸ‘‰ Make it obvious when a package is trustworthy β€” and when it’s not.

If you want to quickly β€œx-ray” your dependencies before you add them to your codebase, you can try it here:
