Summary
According to a post on X by @imranye, boat.dev has launched offense, a security toolbox for coding agents. The post says it lets agents run security work inside the same loop as coding, covering dependency audits, secret scanning, container and infrastructure checks, API fuzzing, and a pen-test agent running in a disposable sandbox. It wraps existing tools, including opengrep, gitleaks, trivy, ZAP and nuclei, behind a single CLI.

Why it matters
The post ties the launch to agents shipping more code, with security checks moving into the agent's own workflow. For developers and teams using coding agents, this could mean security checks run alongside code generation instead of as a separate step.
