I built it to learn, to share, and hopefully to help others keep their systems a little more secure.  \n\n---\n\n## Why?\n\nArch Linux is fast, rolling, and bleeding edge. But with speed comes the chance of pulling in packages with security issues before you've heard about them.  \n**pacguard** fetches the official Arch Security Tracker feed, compares it with your installed packages, and tells you if something looks shady.  \n\n---\n\n## Features\n\n- Reads your installed package list directly from pacman’s database.  \n- Talks to the [Arch Security Tracker](https://security.archlinux.org/) in JSON format.  \n- Flags packages that match known advisories.  \n- Shows affected versions, fixed versions, severity, and CVE identifiers.  \n- Suggests a quick `pacman -Syu` fix if one exists.  \n- Otherwise, tells you to keep an eye on it (because sometimes there’s no fix yet).  \n\n---\n\n## Installation\n\nJust type : \n\n```bash \nyay -S pacguard\n```` \n\nor \n\nClone the repo:\n\n```bash\ngit clone https://github.com/blackXploit-404/pacguard.git\ncd pacguard\n````\n\nInstall dependencies:\n\n```bash\npip install requests\nsudo pacman -S pyalpm\n```\n\nMake the script executable:\n\n```bash\nchmod +x pacguard\n```\n\n(Optional) move it into your `$PATH`:\n\n```bash\nsudo cp pacguard /usr/local/bin/\n```\n\n---\n\n## Usage\n\nRun it like this:\n\n```bash\n./pacguard\n```\n\nor, if installed system-wide:\n\n```bash\npacguard\n```\n\n---\n\n## Example\n\nWhen something bad shows up:\n\n```\nVulnerable packages found:\n\n- openssl (installed 3.0.11-1)\n  Advisory: ASA-2024-0001\n  Affected: 3.0.0 - 3.0.11\n  Fixed: 3.0.12\n  Severity: Critical\n  CVEs: CVE-2024-12345, CVE-2024-67890\n  Suggested fix: sudo pacman -Syu openssl\n```\n\nWhen everything is clean:\n\n```\nNo vulnerable packages detected.\n```\n\n---\n\n## Limitations\n\n* Arch Linux only (uses pacman’s local database + Arch Security Tracker).\n* Needs internet access to pull JSON feed.\n* Won’t magically fix anything — it just tells you what’s wrong.\n\n---\n\n## License\n\n## License\n\nMIT License. See the [LICENSE](LICENSE) file.\n\n---\n\n## Notes from the me :)\n\nThis is a small project, nothing fancy — just a Python script that scratches an itch.\nI know it’s simple, but I wanted to package it up for the community. If it helps even one other Arch user, I’ll call that a win.\n\n## Contributors\n\n\u003c!-- ALL-CONTRIBUTORS-LIST:START - Do not remove or modify this section --\u003e\n\u003c!-- prettier-ignore-start --\u003e\n\u003c!-- markdownlint-disable --\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n  \u003ctbody\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd align=\"center\" valign=\"top\" width=\"14.28%\"\u003e\u003ca href=\"http://surajitsen.live\"\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/143313960?v=4?s=100\" width=\"100px;\" alt=\"Surajit Sen\"/\u003e\u003cbr /\u003e\u003csub\u003e\u003cb\u003eSurajit Sen\u003c/b\u003e\u003c/sub\u003e\u003c/a\u003e\u003cbr /\u003e\u003ca href=\"https://github.com/blackXploit-404/pacguard/commits?author=blackXploit-404\" title=\"Code\"\u003e💻\u003c/a\u003e \u003ca href=\"https://github.com/blackXploit-404/pacguard/commits?author=blackXploit-404\" title=\"Documentation\"\u003e📖\u003c/a\u003e\u003c/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd align=\"center\" valign=\"top\" width=\"14.28%\"\u003e\u003ca href=\"https://debasisbiswas.me\"\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/185465407?v=4?s=100\" width=\"100px;\" alt=\"DEBASIS BISWAS\"/\u003e\u003cbr /\u003e\u003csub\u003e\u003cb\u003eDEBASIS BISWAS\u003c/b\u003e\u003c/sub\u003e\u003c/a\u003e\u003cbr /\u003e\u003ca href=\"https://github.com/blackXploit-404/pacguard/commits?author=DebaA17\" title=\"Code\"\u003e💻\u003c/a\u003e \u003ca href=\"#ideas-DebaA17\" title=\"Ideas, Planning, \u0026 Feedback\"\u003e🤔\u003c/a\u003e\u003c/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd align=\"center\" valign=\"top\" width=\"14.28%\"\u003e\u003ca href=\"https://github.com/apps/imgbot\"\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/in/4706?v=4?s=100\" width=\"100px;\" alt=\"imgbot[bot]\"/\u003e\u003cbr /\u003e\u003csub\u003e\u003cb\u003eimgbot[bot]\u003c/b\u003e\u003c/sub\u003e\u003c/a\u003e\u003cbr /\u003e\u003ca href=\"#infra-imgbot[bot]\" title=\"Infrastructure (Hosting, Build-Tools, etc)\"\u003e🚇\u003c/a\u003e\u003c/td\u003e\n    \u003c/tr\u003e\n  \u003c/tbody\u003e\n\u003c/table\u003e\n\n\u003c!-- markdownlint-restore --\u003e\n\u003c!-- prettier-ignore-end --\u003e\n\n\u003c!-- ALL-CONTRIBUTORS-LIST:END --\u003e\n\n[![All Contributors](https://img.shields.io/github/all-contributors/projectOwner/projectName?color=ee8449\u0026style=flat-square)](#contributors)\n","project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fblackxploit-404%2Fpacguard","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Fblackxploit-404%2Fpacguard","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fblackxploit-404%2Fpacguard/lists"}
