Atomic Arch AUR Audit Tool
the.unknown-universe.co.uk
Audit Arch Linux systems for AUR malware. Compare installed packages against the live Atomic Arch threat list locally in the browser. Privacy-focused tool.

The “Atomic Arch” campaign compromised over 1,500 AUR packages between June 10-12, targeting SSH keys and API tokens. If you updated via yay or paru during that window, you need to audit your local system.

I’ve built a client-side tool to help with this.

Local Processing: Your package list never leaves your browser. All comparisons are done client-side.

Live Data: It fetches the verified malicious list directly from the official Arch servers (md.archlinux.org) to ensure it’s always current. Zero Bloat: No trackers, no ads, no cookies. How to use:

  1. Run pacman -Qm
  2. Paste the output into the tool

    Those are solid resources but I built mine specifically for the folks who don’t want to pipe a remote bash script into their shell during a malware outbreak. My goal was simple, a private way to audit the list without needing to clone a repo or install Python dependencies.

    Use the forensics scripts if you’re a power user, but if you just want a quick, client-side check that doesn’t touch your filesystem, that’s what the tool is there for.
