My OpenClaw tried to exfiltrate my SSH keys, so I built a guardrail

●●●BangerSolve My ProblemBold BetZero to One

Transparent proxy intercepts agent tool calls; blocks SSH key theft before it happens.

Strengths
  • Real problem: author hit it with OpenClaw exfiltration attempt—solves a security gap agents will definitely hit.
  • Zero-code integration: point existing agent to localhost:9090, transparent blocking with no agent refactor.
  • 100% local, 'auto' mode auto-detects LLM provider from model name—dead simple UX for a security tool.
Weaknesses
  • Rules appear rule-based/heuristic (README doesn't detail the blocking logic)—unclear if it catches novel exfiltration patterns.
  • Only shown working with Cursor/Claude Code; unclear support matrix for other agent frameworks.

Clawsec - Open-source plugin for OpenClaw that blocks dangerous actions

Every tool call is caught by middleware, scored against built-in rulesets like destructive-commands, secrets/* and exfiltration/* in under 5ms, then enforced as block/confirm/allow via a clawsec.yaml — neat, pragmatic attack surface reduction. The demo and auto-generated config make onboarding trivial, but it currently reads as an OpenClaw-first solution; broader agent-framework integrations or stronger isolation guarantees would make this a must-install.

Aquaman keeping your OpenClaw secrets safe

The plugin-proxy split is smart: credentials live in a backend (Keychain/1Password/Vault/etc.) and a separate proxy injects auth headers over a UDS so the agent process never handles raw keys. It autosurveys plugin configs and channels to migrate plaintext secrets and even ships a Docker image and CLI for local setups — very practical for anyone already on OpenClaw, though it’s narrowly focused and adds an extra trusted component that deserves an audit.
