## What it is
A Python CLI tool that detects compromised AUR packages from the June 2026 atomic-lockfile supply-chain attack and other historical campaigns. It scans installed packages, package caches, and system artifacts for indicators of compromise using a campaign-based configuration.

## Use cases
- check if my AUR packages are infected with atomic-lockfile malware
- scan my Arch system for the June 2026 AUR supply-chain attack
- detect compromised packages in npm, bun, yarn, and pnpm caches
- audit my system for eBPF rootkit and infostealer indicators
- refresh malware campaign package lists from upstream sources
- get JSON output of malware scan results for CI/CD pipelines
- track multiple AUR malware campaigns over time

## When to choose
- you use Arch Linux or an AUR helper and want to verify your system is clean
- you need a dependency-free, standard-library-only scanner you can run anywhere
- you want campaign-based detection that stays current with new attack waves
- you need machine-readable scan output for automation or CI

## When to avoid
- you need real-time malware protection rather than point-in-time scanning
- you are not on Arch Linux or do not use the AUR
- you need a general-purpose antivirus rather than targeted supply-chain attack detection
