🛡️ SentryBox Security Scanner
Know if your Python packages are safe — before they run.
SentryBox automatically scans every import in your Python files and tells you whether the package is safe or dangerous. Results appear right next to your code.
✨ What It Does
Auto-Scans Your Imports
Write Python as usual. SentryBox detects your imports and scans them automatically.
import requests ✅ SAFE · risk 1/10
import flask ✅ SAFE · risk 2/10
import evil_package 🚫 BLOCKED · risk 9/10
Shows Results Inline
No need to check logs or dashboards. Verdicts appear right next to your import line :
✅ SAFE — Package is clean
🚫 BLOCKED — Package has security risks
⏳ Scanning... — Analysis in progress
Remembers Results
Once a package is scanned, the result is cached for 30 days . Next time you import it — the verdict appears instantly.
Alerts You to Threats
If a package is flagged as dangerous, you'll get a notification popup immediately so you can take action.
