Andrew Peterson
CEO and Co-Founder at Signal Sciences (acq. Fastly)
How do you track the validity of open source software libraries as they get updated? You're prob not. Check out @SocketSecurity and the updated tooling they launched.
Supply chain is a cluster in security as we all know and the tools from Socket are "duh" type tools to be implementing. Check them out and follow Feross Aboukhadijeh to see more updates coming from them in the future.
Frederic Kerrest
Founder and COO at Okta
Congrats to Feross Aboukhadijeh and the Socket team on the progress and capital raise to accelerate growth. Defending open source from supply chain attacks is key for the future of enterprise software and technological innovation!

If what you are building needs to be secure and you use open-source, socket is a must!
DC Posch
Director of Technology at AppFolio, CTO at Dynasty
This is going to be super important, especially for crypto projects where a compromised dependency results in stolen user assets.
Eric Wooley
Full-stack developer, Open source contributor
Security is such an issue with our software supply chains.
I'm thrilled to see tools that can catch the issues, before they destroy our projects, or even the whole business.
JD Ross
Founder at OpenDoor
Software supply-chain attacks are not talked about nearly enough. Socket is really cool and Feross gets this stuff better than anyone
Erik Torenberg
Founder at OnDeck, Co-founder at Village Global
Congrats to Feross Aboukhadijeh for launching Socket, a new effort to solve some of the biggest problems in security!
Fabio Berger

Congrats to @feross and the entire @SocketSecurity team for launching socket.dev! It's great to have such a talented team tackling the software supply chain problem for the JS ecosystem in a scalable way 👏
Max Goisser
Lead Engineer at Field33
Love seeing efforts like this! Tooling around package management has such a big leverage on ecosystem quality but is worked on far too rarely.
Brandon Garcia
VP of Product at FemTec, Forbes 30 Under 30
Wow, this looks pretty incredible… and complete with snazzy js visualizations, ofc ✨✨✨
Matthew Mueller
Founder at Standup Jack
Congrats @feross ! Awesome to see @MikolaLysenko on the team as well. What a stacked group!
Brendan Falk
Co-founder + CEO at Fig (YC S20)
Super excited for this. Especially for suspicious package search that's an absolute game changer. Excited to switch @fig's package search for npm over to this!!
Mark Dalgleish
Co-creator of CSS Modules, Engineer at Rainbow
Congrats on the launch! Looks really cool.

@feross was always the open-source expert @southpkcommons. Excited to see him and the team take on the challenge of securing that ecosystem!
Yan Zhu
Head of Security at Brave, DEFCON, EFF, W3C
glad to hear some of the smartest people i know are working on (npm, etc.) supply chain security finally :). @SocketSecurity
Ryan Noon
Founder & CEO at Material Security
Congrats to Feross Aboukhadijeh and Socket on announcing their existence!
The NPM ecosystem is a horrible horrible place and I'm glad you're doing something about it.
Devdatta Akhawe
Head of Security at Figma
The @SocketSecurity team is on fire! Amazing progress and I am exciting to see where they go next.
Nico Waisman
CISO at Lyft
This is an area that I have personally been very focused on. As Nat Friedman said in the 2019 GitHub Universe keynote, Open Source won, and every time you add a new open source project you rely on someone else code and you rely on the people that build it.
This is both exciting and problematic. You are bringing real risk into your organization, and I'm excited to see progress in the industry from OpenSSF scorecards and package analyzers to the company that Feross Aboukhadijeh is building!
Adam Baldwin
VP of Security at npm, Red Team at Auth0/Okta
Congrats to everyone at @SocketSecurity ❤️🤘🏻
Luis Naranjo
Software Engineer at Microsoft
If software supply chain attacks through npm don't scare the shit out of you, you're not paying close enough attention.
@SocketSecurity sounds like an awesome product. I'll be using socket.dev instead of npmjs.org to browse npm packages going forward
Elena Nadolinski
Founder and CEO at Iron Fish
Huge congrats to @SocketSecurity! 🙌
Literally the only product that proactively detects signs of JS compromised packages.
Jed McCaleb
Co-founder at Stellar Development Foundation
@SocketSecurity is great! Check it out if you use open source in your product.
Danny Crichton
Head of Editorial at Lux Capital, Managing Editor at TechCrunch
My far-smarter-than-me former roommate just nabbed a great seed round – amazing @feross (and my far-smarter-than-me former colleague @zackwhittaker has the scoop)
Liran Tal
Developer Relations at Snyk
Congrats, Feross. That's awesome! 🙌
A great win and a good testament for the much needed investment in supply chain security concerns around open source ecosystems. Also, more friends for me to collab with 😉

Zbyszek Tenerowicz
Senior Security Engineer at ConsenSys
socket.dev is getting more appealing by the hour
Sebastian Bensusan
Engineer Manager at Stripe
I find it surprising that we don't have _more_ supply chain attacks in software:
Imagine your airplane (the code running) was assembled (deployed) daily, with parts (dependencies) from internet strangers. How long until you get a bad part?
Excited for Socket to prevent this
Abi Raja
Head of Engineering at Patio
congrats to @SocketSecurity for raising! supply chain attacks are by far one of the hardest things to prevent.

Austin Kelleher

Congrats to Socket and Feross Aboukhadijeh for raising Socket's $4.6M seed round! Ever since I started using JavaScript, I've been concerned about the risks of transitive dependencies. Socket provides free, and transparent, analysis of dependencies. Excited to see where Socket heads!
Kris Kaczor
Co-founder at L2BEAT, Engineer at MakerDAO
Seriously, if you're working on web3-related open-source software please consider using @SocketSecurity. Supply chain attacks are becoming a real issue, especially if your code handles millions of dollars in value.
Btw. they just raised some money 🤑
Areeb Malik
Co-founder at Glacier, Senior Software Engineer at Facebook
Congrats to Socket on their launch! Feross Aboukhadijeh and the team are building incredibly cool tech to keep software safe from bad actors and I can think of few founders with as much drive and passion for what they do. [...]

Congratulations to Socket raising their seed round of financing! I've been really interested in the work that Feross Aboukhadijehhas been doing on supply chain security in the npm ecosystem.
Kevin Kwok

I feel like there's some platonic sense of technologist. And Feross has always been the closest thing there is to permanently at the top of my list of whatever it is since as long as I've been in SV
Never get less excited about his launches.
