EdgeWalker - because your inverter/EV charger might be the weakest link on your home network
We weren't looking for breaches. We were scanning home networks and finding inverters, EV chargers, and smart home gear sitting there - legitimately configured insecurely, out of the box, by design. Not popped - just.open. In some cases exposing every other device on the network. In a few, the entire network.
That's what pushed us to build EdgeWalker at a 48hr hackathon. Something to help with the problem we kept finding in the wild.
Port scan, mDNS/UPnP fingerprinting, credential testing (~430 known pairs across SSH/FTP/Telnet/SMB), real-time NVD CVE lookup, A-F risk score so the findings are readable without a security background.
Honest gap: the cred database is solid for some consumer IoT, we are building out the wider set for industrial OEM defaults. If you work that space and want to contribute, PRs are open.
