Hottest cybersecurity open-source tools of the month: August 2026

August's open-source security roundup highlights NVIDIA SkillSpector for AI agent skill scanning, Future AGI, Chainloop, PentestGPT, and Hazmat agent containment.

Help Net Security's August 2026 roundup covers five open-source tools: NVIDIA's SkillSpector, a scanner that assesses AI agent skills from directories, zips, SKILL.md files, or Git URLs and returns findings and risk scores; Future AGI, an Apache 2.0 platform for tracing, evaluating, simulating, and guardrailing LLM agents; Chainloop, a software supply chain evidence store that produces signed in-toto attestations in CI pipelines; PentestGPT, an agentic penetration testing framework running recon, exploit, and reporting stages; and Hazmat, which runs AI coding agents like Claude Code and Codex inside a separate machine account for containment.

Exaforce extends its AI security tool to monitor more than just Claude

Exaforce AI Security extends beyond Claude to monitor OpenAI, Gemini, and Copilot agents using existing SOC telemetry, no new endpoint agents.

Exaforce expanded its June Claude Compliance API integration into Exaforce AI Security, adding monitoring for OpenAI, Gemini, Microsoft Copilot, and OAuth-connected AI apps. The tool inventories AI agents by correlating EDR, cloud, SaaS, and model-provider logs without new gateways or endpoint agents, and can respond by revoking sessions, deactivating API keys, isolating devices, or killing agent processes via existing controls. Analysts note the agentless approach lowers friction but lacks runtime inspection and inline blocking offered by competitors such as Palo Alto Prisma AIRS, SentinelOne Prompt AI Agent Security, and CrowdStrike Falcon Guardian. A March 2026 Cloud Security Alliance survey found 68% of organizations cannot distinguish human from AI-agent activity and 74% report AI agents receive excessive access.

BleachBit 6.0.4 fixes secure wiping that skipped clusters on Windows

BleachBit 6.0.4 fixes Windows secure-wipe bugs that skipped fragmented-file clusters, adds HSTS tracker deletion, early macOS support, and broad hardening.

The open-source cleaner BleachBit released version 6.0.4, fixing Windows shredding bugs where fragmented files were wiped incompletely because noncontiguous clusters were skipped, leaving potentially sensitive data on disk. The release adds deletion of dynamic HSTS tracking data in six Chromium-based browsers and Zen, early macOS support including a Safari cleaner and full CLI, plus hardening such as absolute paths for ipconfig/taskkill, symlink and reparse-point handling, DTD-free XML parsing, and PATH/environment sanitization when running as root.

Akeyless adds real-time enforcement for AI agents in production

Akeyless launches Agentic Runtime Authority, enforcing real-time intent-based access control on AI agent actions, with integrations for Claude Enterprise, OpenAI Codex and Amazon Bedrock AgentCore

Akeyless announced general availability of Agentic Runtime Authority, a real-time identity control layer that evaluates AI agent actions and blocks policy-violating actions before execution, layered on top of its SecretlessAI credential brokering. New integrations cover Claude Enterprise, OpenAI Codex and Amazon Bedrock AgentCore, alongside an Agentic Access Dashboard with session kill switches and event forwarding to Splunk, Datadog and Microsoft Sentinel. The vendor's platform already secures over 220 billion machine identity interactions for Fortune 500 organizations.
