In many security engagements, I kept seeing the same pattern.
Teams would start with:
scanners
pentests
long lists of findings
But very often, the real problem wasn’t what was exploitable, it was where trust assumptions were already broken.
The gap before scanning
Most incidents I worked on started with:
weak sudoers configurations
unsafe update mechanisms
unpinned CI/CD dependencies
exposed management interfaces
These issues existed before any exploitation.
Yet most tools focus on what happens after.
Enter PrivLabs
I built PrivLabs to sit before scanning and exploitation.
PrivLabs is an offline supply-chain pre-audit assessment platform designed to:
identify early risk signals
structure findings

Enter PrivLabs
I built PrivLabs to sit before scanning and exploitation.
PrivLabs is an offline supply-chain pre-audit assessment platform designed to:
identify early risk signals
structure findings
help teams decide where to focus first
It is intentionally:
non-exploiting
non-invasive
offline
human-centric
What PrivLabs does
Linux privilege escalation pre-audit
CI/CD pipeline trust analysis
Supply-chain configuration reviews
Executive-friendly risk summaries
What it does not do
No exploitation
No active attacks
No scanning
No data storage or transmission
PrivLabs complements pentesting — it doesn’t replace it.
Why offline matters
In many environments (enterprise, regulated, air-gapped), uploading data to SaaS tools is simply not an option.
PrivLabs processes everything in-memory, with no persistence.
