Analysis

hojamalo-scanner is a web security scanner CLI. Its postinstall hook modifies the user's shell profile (.bashrc/.zshrc/.profile) and on Windows runs setx to add the npm global bin directory to PATH. The scanner probes target sites for exposed sensitive files (.env, .git/config, .aws/credentials, id_rsa, backup files) and enumerates subdomains via crt.sh certificate transparency logs.
