Learn Supply-Chain Guard: from zero to expert, then sell it
No AI background needed. Five levels, each with something to actually do, at your own pace. Tick items as you go (your ticks stay in this browser).
Evidence, proof and selling tools for Supply-Chain Guard
Level 1 Beginner: understand it
Coding agents install software packages. Some names they suggest don't exist, and attackers publish malware under those names or one-letter look-alikes.
The guard refuses fakes, look-alikes, untrusted sources and settings tampering, and asks a person when unsure.
Think of it like this: A pharmacist who checks every prescription: the medicine must exist, come from a licensed supplier, and not be a look-alike name.

Level 2 User: see it work
Run it live: open the live demo. Before each result, guess what will happen. These are checks it must pass:
- Control: ordinary installs and tests: Lockfile installs, pinned well-known packages and tests: all allowed.
- The AI invents a package name (slopsquatting): Code models often suggest packages that don't exist; attackers register them. The invented package is refused.
- Look-alike names: reqeusts, dj4ngo: Swapped and look-alike letters of popular packages are refused.
- Agent switches on 'auto-approve' for itself: Modeled on a 2025 vulnerability where injected text made a coding assistant stop asking before running commands.
- README says: download and run this script: A downloaded script run without review is refused, in all its spellings.
- No registry to check: held for a person: Without a registry lookup the guard cannot tell a fake from a niche package, so it asks. Unknown never allows.
Level 3 Verifier: prove it yourself
This is the skill that sets you apart: you don't have to believe us, and neither do your customers.
- Install Python 3 if you don't have it (python.org/downloads).
- Download the kit and unzip it.
- Open a terminal in that folder. On Windows, click the folder's address bar, type
cmdand press Enter. On a Mac, right-click the folder and choose New Terminal at Folder. - Run
python3 verify.py(on Windows,python verify.py). It checks the seal without the internet. - Run
python3 verify.py --live. It repeats every check from your own computer. - Try to cheat it: open
transcript.jsonin a text editor, change one character, save, and runpython3 verify.pyagain. It must now say FAIL. Unzip a fresh copy afterward.
Level 4 Expert: know the edges
An expert knows what a product does not do, and says it first. That is what makes a buyer trust you.
- It checks installs and setting changes it is shown; an install that skips it is not checked.
- It judges names, sources and commands; it does not read the code inside a package.
- A package one letter from a popular one is sometimes real, so those are held for a person rather than refused.
You can say
- Invented and look-alike packages are refused before install.
- Unknown cases wait for a person.
Never say
- "Scans package code for malware": it judges names, sources and commands.
- "Stops every supply-chain attack".

What is slopsquatting?
Malware published under names AIs invent.
What happens when the guard can't tell?
It asks a person.
In the live check "The AI invents a package name (slopsquatting)", what answer must come back, and why?
"SUPPLY_CHAIN_ATTACK_STOPPED". Code models often suggest packages that don't exist; attackers register them. The invented package is refused.
In the live check "Look-alike names: reqeusts, dj4ngo", what answer must come back, and why?
"SUPPLY_CHAIN_ATTACK_STOPPED". Swapped and look-alike letters of popular packages are refused.
In the live check "Agent switches on 'auto-approve' for itself", what answer must come back, and why?
"SUPPLY_CHAIN_ATTACK_STOPPED". Modeled on a 2025 vulnerability where injected text made a coding assistant stop asking before running commands.
Does a passing kit prove the product is safe for every possible input?
No. It proves what the live product answered to the inputs listed in the kit, and lets anyone check that again.
Has an independent party audited or certified this product?
No. No third-party audit is complete and no certification is held. Say so if asked.
