## What is dart_shield?

`dart_shield` is a Dart-native Static Application Security Testing (SAST) tool that scans your codebase to identify potential security risks and breaches.

It detects security flaws such as:
* Hardcoded endpoints and API keys.
* Vulnerable cryptography (weak hashing algorithms, insecure random generators).
* Insecure HTTP connections.
