foxguard: Sub-second local security scanning in Rust

Quality: 8/10 Relevance: 9/10

Summary

foxguard is a fast local security scanner written in Rust that aims to provide sub-second feedback for codebases. It features 100+ built-in rules across multiple languages, a Semgrep/OpenGrep-compatible YAML subset as an adoption bridge, and benchmarks showing substantial speedups over traditional scanners like Semgrep. The project emphasizes local, no-network analysis with outputs in terminal, JSON, or SARIF, and supports pre-commit hooks and CI integration.
