About PSRafScan

Learn what PSRafScan reviews, what its static analysis does not prove, its public alpha lifecycle, and who creates and maintains the project.

What PSRafScan is

PSRafScan is a PowerShell 7.4+ module for reviewing PowerShell scripts before execution. It uses the native PowerShell parser and PSRafScan-owned static rules, with exact intended-use modes for saved files and live terminal pastes.

What it is not

  • It is not a sandbox or runtime emulator.
  • It is not a malware detector or safety certification.
  • It does not prove that a script's business intent is correct.
  • It does not establish that every required dependency, permission, service, or endpoint is available.
  • It does not intentionally execute the scanned target.

Current lifecycle and public state

PSRafScan is available as a public alpha. The reviewed version is 0.2.0-alpha1. The repository, source, documentation, release, and download destinations are public first-party resources. Alpha behavior and contracts can change before 1.0.0.

  • PowerShell 7.4 or later is required.
  • Windows, macOS, and Linux are declared targets.
  • Reviewed active CI evidence validates Windows; macOS and Linux remain declared targets needing current platform-specific validation.
  • No external PowerShell-module dependency is required.
