Deep Scanning

Recursively scans directories with configurable exclude patterns, max-depth control, and smart default ignores for node_modules, dist, and lockfiles.

🏥

Finance & Healthcare Patterns

Pre-configured rules for PCI DSS (Credit Card, SSN, IBAN) and HIPAA (MRN, ICD-10, DOB) with tag-based filtering for targeted scans.

✅

Smart Validation

Luhn algorithm verification and keyword proximity detection reduce false positives and indicate match confidence.

⚡

Blazing Fast

Parallel file scanning auto-scaled to available CPU cores. Built with Go for maximum throughput on large codebases.

📋

Multiple Output Formats

Console, JSON, and SARIF output built in. SARIF is compatible with GitHub Code Scanning for inline PR annotations.

🔗

Integrations

Works with GitHub Actions, GitLab CI/CD, Azure Pipelines, CircleCI, Jenkins, Docker, and Git pre-commit hooks.

Quick Start ​

Install and run your first scan in under a minute.

macOS / Linux

brew install vypher-io/tap/vypher

Windows

powershell
scoop bucket add vypher-io https://github.com/vypher-io/scoop-bucket
scoop install vypher

Docker

bash
docker run --rm -v "$(pwd)":/scan pseudocoding/vypher scan --target /scan

Run a scan

bash
vypher scan --target ./src

Fail on any finding (CI/CD)
