We got shaken down, so we built this.

buckingfugs started the evening someone tried to extort us over a missing DMARC record. A friendly-looking email became a “pay me or I go public” shakedown in under an hour — over one line of DNS that takes five minutes and zero dollars to fix.

That's the racket: shipping fast is great until a lowlife runs a free scanner against your app, screenshots whatever it spits out, and fires off a scary invoice. Most of it isn't a real vulnerability — it's missing config. Hygiene. The boring stuff.

So we made the boring stuff a one-click, five-dollar report. We scan for the low-level issues a shakedown artist would find — spoofable email, exposed .env files, missing headers, weak TLS — tell you exactly what's wrong, and hand you the fix (plus a copy-paste prompt for your AI). No account, no subscription, no sales call.

Our mascot is a tardigrade because tardigrades are the most indestructible animal alive — they survive radiation, boiling, and the vacuum of space. They're also deeply stupid and impossible to shake down. That's the whole idea: be a boring, indestructible target.
