I built a website security scanner

3•pelmenibenni•9h ago
I’m a solo developer and over the last year I kept running into the same problem: I’d ship projects thinking “I’ll secure this properly later” but my cybersecurity knowledge is bad honestly.

I’d forget things like: - missing security headers - weak TLS / SSL configs - basic misconfigurations that scanners should catch early

So I built SecureNow a security scanner that checks websites for common vulnerabilities and gives a clear report with fix recommendations.

It’s not trying to replace pentesting — it’s meant as a fast “baseline security check” you can run before or after deploying.

It's designed for developers / small teams

Some features I thought were pretty cool: - Open Port Scanning (Not many websites have these) - Rate Limit Detector - API Route Checker

I launched it today and would genuinely love feedback: - Is this useful? - What checks would you expect from a tool like this? - What would make you not trust it? - Is it too overpriced?

Happy to answer any technical questions.
