Show HN: BlackStork – render cybersecurity reports directly from structured data
BlackStork is a tool that renders cybersecurity reports directly from structured data, streamlining the report generation process for security professionals.
Background
- BlackStork is a new open-source tool that generates formatted cybersecurity reports (PDF, HTML, DOCX) directly from structured JSON or YAML data, rather than requiring users to manually write and format report text.
- It targets security analysts, penetration testers, and incident responders who often spend significant time building reports from assessment data (e.g., vulnerability scan results, compliance checks, red-team findings).
- The project competes with existing reporting solutions like Dradis, Serpico, or PwnDoc, as well as custom scripting approaches using templates (e.g., LaTeX, Markdown-to-PDF converters).
- This is a "Show HN" post — a tradition on Hacker News where makers share side projects or startups for community feedback.
