Syhunt is a world wide web network security software company with headquarters in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. Syhunt was founded on August, 2003, by Felipe Aragon, a network security specialist[1]. The company's operations are currently centered on the development of software relating to the assessment of web servers and web applications.

In 2003, Syhunt released a web application security assessment software known as Sandcat, which focuses on Open Web Application Security Project (OWASP) and the SANS Institute vulnerabilities. Syhunt has also produced a number of security software utilities, including worm removal tools (during worm outbreaks), server hardening and log analysis tools.

Today the company is still engaged in the development of web application security assessment software[2][3] and also participates the Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVE) [4] initiative.
