SecureCLI - A custom CLI using .NET Core and MongoDB Atlas

The Problem

If you work in a company , they are many reason to access different websites. But sometimes maybe you need permissions from security teams to access these websites, or maybe sometimes you have to wait for 2 days to get this approved.

Solution : Reduce the wait time and support tickets

As a developer you like CLI tools because its quick. SecureCLItool helps you to check if the website is secure or not by just typing simple command like below:

secure https://cloud.mongodb.com/

Was busy but still I did this project in less time, So feel free open issues in github if you face any problem running the projects.

Future Plans:

• Create a back end with UIfor security teams add or remove links
• Make the CLIrespond like a chat bot
• Add options to check mail domains
• Do the above as time permits :)

I enjoyed building a custom CLI. Thanks Mondodb and devto .

Enjoy the CLI :)
