How I Automated My Website Security Scanning (And Saved Hours)

Every developer knows they should test their website for vulnerabilities. But manually checking security headers, SSL certs, CORS misconfigurations, and open ports for every site is tedious.

I built a Python tool that does it all in one command.

What it checks:

Security headers (CSP, HSTS, X-Frame-Options, etc.)
SSL certificate validity & expiry
CORS misconfigurations
Open ports
Information disclosure
Clickjacking protection

The best part? It runs in under 30 seconds and gives you a clear risk score with actionable fix recommendations.

I've been using this for all my client projects and decided to package it up as a Pro version with additional features:

Unlimited scans
Detailed PDF reports
API access for CI/CD pipelines
Priority updates on new vulnerability checks

5 Security Headers Every Website Should Have (And How to Check Them)

DiMeng — Fri, 22 May 2026 17:09:54 +0000

5 Security Headers Every Website Should Have (And How to Check Them)

If you run a website, security headers are your first line of defense against common web attacks. But according to recent scans, over 70% of websites are missing critical security headers.

Here are the 5 headers that matter most:

1. Strict-Transport-Security (HSTS)

Forces HTTPS connections and prevents downgrade attacks.

Strict-Transport-Security: max-age=31536000; includeSubDomains

2. Content-Security-Policy (CSP)

Prevents XSS attacks by controlling which resources can load.

Content-Security-Policy: default-src 'self'

3. X-Frame-Options

Protects against clickjacking by controlling iframe embedding.

X-Frame-Options: SAMEORIGIN

4. X-Content-Type-Options

Prevents MIME-type sniffing attacks.

X-Content-Type-Options: nosniff

5. Referrer-Policy

Controls how much referrer information is shared.

Referrer-Policy: strict-origin-when-cross-origin

How to Check Your Site Instantly

I built a free web security scanner that checks all these headers (and more) in under 30 seconds:

→ Free Security Scan

Just replace the URL with your site and it'll generate a full report with risk scoring and fix recommendations.

For teams needing deeper analysis, there's a Pro version with unlimited scans, PDF reports, and API access for CI/CD pipelines: Get WebSec Scanner Pro

Quick Summary

Header	Purpose	Risk if Missing
HSTS	Force HTTPS	Medium (downgrade attacks)
CSP	Block XSS	High (injection attacks)
X-Frame-Options	Prevent clickjacking	Medium (UI redressing)
X-Content-Type-Options	Stop MIME sniffing	Medium (drive-by downloads)
Referrer-Policy	Control referrer data	Low (information leakage)

Don't wait for an attack to find out your headers are missing. Check them today.

5 HTTP Security Headers That Block 90% of Attacks — Check Yours Free

DiMeng — Fri, 22 May 2026 16:06:37 +0000

What Are HTTP Security Headers?

HTTP security headers are directives sent by the server to the browser that tell it how to behave when rendering your website. Think of them as your website's immune system — they prevent the browser from executing malicious actions.

Yet according to recent scans, over 78% of websites are missing at least one critical security header. Here are the 5 you absolutely need:

1. Strict-Transport-Security (HSTS)

Strict-Transport-Security: max-age=31536000; includeSubDomains; preload

This tells the browser to ALWAYS use HTTPS — no exceptions. Even if a user types http:// manually, the browser rewrites it to HTTPS.

Impact: Prevents SSL-strip attacks where an attacker downgrades your HTTPS connection to HTTP on a public WiFi network.

2. Content-Security-Policy (CSP)

Content-Security-Policy: default-src 'self'; script-src 'self'; style-src 'self' 'unsafe-inline'

CSP is your most powerful defense against XSS (Cross-Site Scripting). It tells the browser exactly which sources of content are trusted. Any script from an untrusted domain gets blocked.

Impact: Even if an attacker injects a <script> tag into your page, the browser refuses to execute it.

3. X-Frame-Options

X-Frame-Options: SAMEORIGIN

Prevents your site from being embedded in an <iframe> on other domains.

Impact: Stops clickjacking attacks where an attacker overlays transparent buttons on top of your site in an invisible iframe.

4. X-Content-Type-Options

X-Content-Type-Options: nosniff

Prevents browsers from MIME-sniffing — guessing the content type of a response.

Impact: If you serve script.js with text/plain, the browser won't execute it because you explicitly told it not to sniff.

5. Referrer-Policy

Referrer-Policy: strict-origin-when-cross-origin

Controls how much referrer information is sent when users click links to other sites.

Impact: Prevents leaking sensitive URL parameters (like session tokens in query strings) to third-party sites.

How to Check Your Site

You can check all of these headers (plus 20+ other security checks) instantly with a free online scanner:

🔍 WebSec Scanner Pro → http://sec.92888888.xyz/scan?url=https://your-site.com

It checks:

✅ All 7 critical security headers (HSTS, CSP, XFO, XCTO, XSS-Protection, Referrer-Policy, Permissions-Policy)
✅ Open ports analysis
✅ Risk score calculation
✅ Actionable fix recommendations

No registration, no email required. Just paste your URL and get a full report in seconds.

For production environments, I also offer professional security audits starting at $49 — covering manual code review, OWASP Top 10 testing, and configuration hardening. Contact me at jhonwind2023@gmail.com for details.

Why Your Website Needs a Security Scanner (And How WebSec Scanner Pro Can Help)

DiMeng — Fri, 22 May 2026 11:48:56 +0000

Web security isn't optional anymore — it's a necessity. Whether you're running a personal blog, a SaaS product, or an e-commerce platform, attackers are constantly probing your site for weak points.

Why Bother With Web Security Scanning?

Let me ask you a few questions:

When was the last time you checked your website for security vulnerabilities?
Do you know if your API endpoints have proper CORS configuration?
Could a malicious actor perform a CSRF attack on your login form?
Are you leaking sensitive information in your HTTP headers?

How I Scan 100+ Websites Daily for Security Vulnerabilities (Automated)

How I Scan 100+ Websites Daily for Security Vulnerabilities (Automated)

As a web developer, I was spending hours manually checking security headers, SSL certificates, and CORS configurations for client websites. It was tedious, error-prone, and I kept missing things.

So I automated the entire process.

The Problem:
Every week, new vulnerabilities are discovered. My clients expected me to know if their sites were secure. But manually checking:

Security headers (CSP, HSTS, X-Frame-Options)
SSL certificate expiry
CORS misconfigurations
Open ports
Information disclosure
Clickjacking protection

...for every project was unsustainable.

The Solution: An Automated Web Security Scanner

I built a lightweight scanner that checks all of the above in under 30 seconds. It gives a clear risk score with actionable fix recommendations — no more digging through raw security reports.

What makes it useful:

Instant results: Paste a URL, get a full security report in seconds
Actionable output: Not just raw data — it tells you what to fix and how
Runs anywhere: CLI tool, API, or web interface
Pro version for teams: PDF reports, CI/CD integration, unlimited scans

The Business Angle

I started offering security audits as a service to my clients. The scanner lets me produce professional reports in minutes. It's become a reliable side income stream — small businesses especially need this but can't afford enterprise security tools.

Try It Yourself

Free scan: https://sec.92888888.xyz/scan?url=https://example.com
Pro version: https://payhip.com/b/2HZrT

Whether you're a freelancer, agency, or independent developer — automated security scanning saves time and finds issues before your clients do.
