Website Security Scanner Overview

The Website Security Scanner is a sophisticated Python script meticulously designed to empower security professionals, developers, and website administrators with robust capabilities for identifying and mitigating potential vulnerabilities within web applications. This tool serves as an essential asset in the arsenal of security practitioners, offering an automated and comprehensive approach to security testing.

Purpose

In today's digital landscape, web applications are continuously exposed to evolving threats, ranging from common vulnerabilities like Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) to complex security risks such as command injection and SSL misconfigurations. The primary purpose of the Website Security Scanner is to provide a proactive defense mechanism against these threats by facilitating systematic vulnerability assessment and detection. By automating the scanning process, the script aims to streamline security assessments, accelerate vulnerability identification, and ultimately enhance the resilience of web applications against potential cyber attacks.

Features

• Comprehensive Scanning Capabilities: The scanner offers comprehensive scanning capabilities across various aspects of web applications, including HTML, JavaScript, CSS, PHP endpoints, SSL configuration, HTTP headers, file inclusion, command injection, and hidden directory detection.
  
• CVE Search Functionality: Enables users to search for Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVEs) associated with a given website, providing insights into known vulnerabilities and potential risks.
  
• HTML Report Generation: Generates comprehensive HTML reports summarizing the scan results, facilitating in-depth analysis and reporting of security findings. Reports are structured and well-organized, providing clear visibility into identified vulnerabilities and their severity levels.
  
• User-Friendly Interface: Features a simple command-line interface, making it accessible to users of all skill levels. Offers intuitive prompts and instructions, guiding users through the scanning process seamlessly.
  

Scan Types

• HTML Vulnerability Scanning: Analyzes the HTML content of the website to identify potential security risks such as XSS vulnerabilities, deprecated HTML tags, and instances of sensitive data exposure within the HTML code.
  
• JavaScript Vulnerability Scanning: Assesses the JavaScript code used within the website for security risks, including the usage of dangerous functions and potential vulnerabilities within the JavaScript implementation.
  
• CSS Vulnerability Scanning: Identifies security issues within the Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) used in the website, including CSS injection vulnerabilities and risks related to URL redirection within CSS files.
  
• PHP Endpoint Scanning: Checks for vulnerabilities related to PHP endpoints within the website, detecting PHPInfo exposure and other potential PHP-related security risks.
  
• SSL Configuration Scanning: Evaluates the SSL configuration of the website for potential security weaknesses, including SSL certificate expiration, SSL/TLS configurations, and other SSL-related risks.
  
• HTTP Header Scanning: Assesses the HTTP headers sent by the website to ensure proper security controls are in place, including checks for security-related headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-XSS-Protection, X-Content-Type-Options, and X-Frame-Options.
  
• File Inclusion and Command Injection Scanning: Detects vulnerabilities related to file inclusion and command injection within the website, identifying potential points of exploitation and assessing associated risks.
  
• Hidden Directory Detection: Aims to identify hidden directories within the website structure, enhancing reconnaissance capabilities and helping discover potential security risks.
