Nikhil Dabhade created VScanX, an open-source security scanner designed to reduce false positives. Unlike traditional scanners, VScanX actively validates vulnerabilities before reporting them. This tool aims to streamline the security scanning process for developers by providing reliable alerts.

- ▪The tool covers web applications, smart contracts, and AI sandbox environments.
- ▪It includes a local documentation dashboard for managing scan results.
