aur-malware-check

Linux AUR package malware scanner with YARA rules

A single-user utility repo for scanning Arch User Repository packages surfaced on Bluesky but has zero traction on GitHub, HN, or developer platforms. No external validation exists.

Why now: Bluesky's tiny 3-item pool with zero curation surfaced this randomly; no actual event or release triggered attention.

• Only signal from 3-row Bluesky search result with rank 1 in a near-empty source (bs.count=3, bs.rows=3)
• Zero GitHub, HN, X, Reddit, ProductHunt, or Dev.to presence despite being a public repo
• Single_source verdict with 183/200 pool items in same band — statistically common noise pattern
• No stars, forks, or issues data visible; utility niche overlaps with existing AUR security tools

Considerations: This is a personal script by a user with limited reach, not a project with adoption signals. AUR security is a real niche but already served by mature tools; no indication this solves a new problem or has users beyond the author.

EMERGING SIGNAL · Ignore: No signal worth tracking; if AUR security tools become a broader topic, monitor established projects instead.
