🛡️ The Mission

Security shouldn't be an afterthought—or extensive manual labor. SecureScan brings security visibility into the terminal, allowing developers to quick-check their staging or localhost environments before shipping.

It bridges the gap between massive enterprise scanners and simple manual checks.

⚙️ How It Works

The toolkit runs a battery of non-invasive tests against a target URL:

1. Header Analysis

It inspects the HTTP response headers for best-practice implementation:

• Strict-Transport-Security (HSTS): Ensuring HTTPS enforcement.
• Content-Security-Policy (CSP): Checking for presence and preventing XSS.
• X-content-Type-Options: Preventing MIME-sniffing attacks.

2. Information Leakage Detection

It probes for files that shouldn't be public:

• .env files accidental exposure.
• .git/HEAD accessibility.
• Exposed Source Maps in production.

3. Input Surface Mapping

It crawls the landing page to identify forms and inputs, flagging potential targets for SQL Injection or XSS testing (though it doesn't perform destructive attacks itself).

💻 CLI Architecture

Built with Node.js, it prioritizes speed and piping capability.

# Example usage in a CI pipeline
npx securescan audit https://staging.myapp.com --json > report.json

• Modular Scanners: Each check is an independent module, making it easy to add new CVE checks.
• Async Concurrency: Runs non-dependent checks in parallel for sub-second results.
• Exit Codes: Properly returns 0 (pass) or 1 (fail) to block deployment pipelines if critical issues are found.

🔮 Future Scope

• HTML Reporting: Generating a visual dashboard of the security posture.
• Dependency Audit Integration: Wrapping npm audit to check for vulnerable packages alongside the runtime checks.
• API Fuzzing: Basic fuzz testing for discovered API endpoints.
