Requirements

NuGetDefense v1.x is built only in .Net Core 3.1 so you will need the runtime/SDK installed. NuGetDefense v2.x is built only in .Net 5.0 (significantly faster) so you will need the runtime/SDK installed.

How does it work?

NuGetDefense is a bundled dotnet tool that runs using an MSBuild ExecTask after your project finishes building.
