How to install nehemiah

git clone https://github.com/boringcomputers/nehemiah

Taken from the project's README on GitHub.

Security audit verdict: SAFE · quality 67/100

None of the 42 rules matched — no credential harvesting, no data exfiltration, no curl-pipe-shell installer. Scanned against 42 published rules built on the SlowMist agent-security taxonomy, refreshed every 8 hours.

The quality score combines nine heuristic checks of the repo and its README: completeness, clarity, specificity, examples, structure, agent readiness, step-by-step content, instruction quality and security notes. It rates how well the project explains itself to an agent, not the code.

About nehemiah

Nehemiah On-demand Linux computers you can hand to an AI. Each one is a real Firecracker microVM — a full machine with its own kernel — that boots in milliseconds, does its thing, and self-destructs when it's done (or stays up as long as you want). Open source (Apache-2.0), self-hosted with your own keys. boringcomputers.com is a showcase; you run the real thing yourself.

How this security grade is produced

Grades come from a rule-based scan built on the SlowMist agent-security taxonomy: 42 published rules, covering credential harvesting, data exfiltration, curl | sh installers and more. It is a first-layer scan, not a manual audit — we say so rather than overstate it.

The scale of the problem is documented independently: Liu et al. (2026), in a study of 31,132 agent skills, report that 26.1% contain security vulnerabilities. Our own full-catalog census is published as a citable open dataset.
