Comment on HoneyWire: Open-source, zero-agent cyber canaries for your homelab (Thinkst/OpenCanary alternative)
irmadlad@lemmy.world 3 days ago That’s very interesting. Thanks.
Now for the burning question on everyone’s mind…was this vibe coded, or AI assisted in any way? I don’t outright reject AI assisted projects, but of course my concerns are always security. Also, what is the depth of your experience coding?
Thanks

No issue that’s a completely fair question, yes AI was used as an accelerator for writing boilerplate code, scaffolding the initial UI layout, and helping me structure the documentation. However, the core security logic, container architecture, and threat model were entirely designed and verified by me. I have about 8-9 years of software development experience. While HoneyWire is my first major public release, it’s the culmination of years of building internal tools, network utilities, and lab environments.
Because security is the primary focus, I deliberately designed the architecture to minimize risks. I highly encourage you to review the source code on GitHub, I’d be happy to receive feedback about the architecture or any threat-modeling critiques!
