Adding QuantumScan to the ### Standalone tools section, listed alphabetically between Nipe and sops.

QuantumScan is a free scanner that detects quantum-vulnerable cryptography (RSA, ECDSA, Diffie-Hellman, SHA-1, MD5, etc.) in GitHub repositories. It exports:

  • CycloneDX 1.7 CBOM (cryptographic-asset inventory recommended by CISA)
  • DORA / NIS2 compliance PDF aligned with EU regulations active since January 2025
  • AI-generated migration guides per finding suggesting NIST FIPS 203/204/205 alternatives

The scanner core is MIT-licensed at https://github.com/quantumscan-io/scanner-core — users can audit / self-host the detection logic. The hosted version is free during the design partner phase.

Fits in the standalone tools category alongside gpg, sops, and cryptomator — practical cryptography utilities engineers use day-to-day, not a library implementing primitives.

Following the alphabetical convention of the section.

Quick update on this submission: QuantumScan just merged its first community contribution — a developer independently added full .NET / C# detection coverage (System.Security.Cryptography + BouncyCastle.NET). The scanner now covers TypeScript, Python, Go, Java, Kotlin, Swift, Rust, C/C++, C#/.NET, Ruby, and PHP. Happy to answer any questions.

Hi! Friendly ping on this PR.

Since the original submission, scanner-core has shipped several updates:

  • Multi-language support now covers 12 languages including C# / .NET
  • GitHub PR bot for automated PQC scanning on every pull request
  • CycloneDX 1.7 CBOM export and DORA/NIS2 compliance PDF reports
  • npx quantumscan . — no install, runs locally, code never leaves the machine

If there's any change needed to match the list's guidelines, happy to update. Thanks for maintaining this resource!

Quick update on this submission.

scanner-core v1.2.0 just shipped three additions that may be relevant to this list's audience:

  • SARIF 2.1.0 output — findings integrate directly into the GitHub Security tab via github/codeql-action/upload-sarif, compatible with GitLab SAST and VS Code
  • Dependency scanning — reads package.json, requirements.txt, go.mod, Cargo.toml, pom.xml for 27 known quantum-vulnerable packages
  • False positive suppression// quantumscan-ignore inline marker

Release: https://github.com/quantumscan-io/scanner-core/releases/tag/v1.2.0

Happy to adjust the submission description if that would help.
