SpookOps — open source tool to find zombie tasks, orphaned services and shadow dependencies in Windows infrastructure
Built this after one too many "is it safe to delete this?" moments at work. SpookOps scans your Windows environment and surfaces:
- Scheduled tasks that haven't run in 90+ days
- Orphaned services nobody owns
- Expired or expiring certificates
- Software with known CVEs
- Shadow dependencies — things that reference assets outside your inventory
- Blast radius analysis — if this breaks, what else goes down?
Self-hosted, open source, .NET 8 agent + web dashboard.
Early days but it's running in production on our own infra.
Happy to answer questions.
