HTTP Request Header Analyzer

This is a project mainly focused on to analyzes HTTP headers to detect potential security issues in web applications, like missing security headers or improper configurations.

code:

import requests  

def analyze_headers(url):  
    response = requests.get(url)  
    headers = response.headers  
    for header, value in headers.items():  
        print(f"{header}: {value}")  

url = input("Enter URL to analyze: ")  
analyze_headers(url)  

Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Use Case: This script is useful for web security . You can analyze if a website has security headers like Strict-Transport-Security or X-Content-Type-Options, which protect against common attacks such as cross-site scripting (XSS).

Tip: Missing or improperly configured headers can indicate vulnerabilities, and this script helps you quickly identify them.
