Hackbot (hackbot.cc) is a passive security reconnaissance tool built and deployed by Jan_Wilmake on April 21, 2026. It provides instant security recon for any domain — SSL certificate analysis, HTTP security headers, DNS records, subdomain enumeration, and breach exposure — deployed as a Cloudflare Worker.[1] [2]
On April 21, 2026, Jan spent approximately one hour in a dedicated Claude session titled "MCP for pentesting and security testing", researching the MCP-security space before building and shipping the MVP same-day:[1]

However, no further iteration has occurred since launch — a nine-day gap as of April 30. This stall is part of a broader no-code streak affecting all of Jan's projects (April 20–29+), during which browsing shifted toward leisure and curiosity content rather than active development. The GOALS.md document identifies returning to iterate on the MVP as overdue.[2]
Based on the research trajectory and evolving ecosystem, several expansion directions have been identified:[2]
The same day, Jan viewed LinkedIn job listings for "AI Security Engineer" at Gazelle Global and "Security Engineer" at Quanza. This suggests the exploration has a dual purpose: both a potential product and a potential career pivot into the emerging AI security engineering field.[1]
The security tooling market has several properties that make it attractive for Jan's product portfolio:[2]
