About the project
A Rust tool that blocks installation of malicious packages from npm, PyPI, crates.io, Go and RubyGems by checking Strix's blocklist and holding back new versions. Runs locally: either machine-wide on macOS/Windows or as a command prefix.
Useful for
- Block a malicious npm package before it is downloaded to the machine
- Delay installation of fresh package versions by 24–48 hours via min_age_hours
- Screen dependencies in CI or locally with the firewall prefix before npm install

Stars per day
Bars show stars per UTC day; the line is a moving average of available history. Gaps mean missing data, not zero growth. Today's bar is incomplete. Red marks spike days.

Star trust
Growth looks organic: forks and discussion are in line with active projects, and stars arrive unevenly, the way people give them.
These are heuristics, not a verdict: we judge by the repository’s behavior, not by a list of stargazers.
