I built a simple AI security scanner for websites — would love community feedback

Hey everyone!
Super excited to share something I’ve been quietly building for the past few weeks — an AI-powered website security scanner designed to help developers and teams catch vulnerabilities before hackers do.

It’s still early, rough around the edges, and absolutely an MVP…
but it already does some pretty useful things.

🔍 What This Tool Does

The MVP scans a website URL and uses AI + rule-based checks to flag:

Common vulnerabilities (misconfigurations, exposed endpoints, weak headers)
Potential security risks in publicly reachable pages
Missing or unsafe security headers
Basic performance & implementation issues that relate to security

The idea is simple: give developers fast, actionable insights without needing to be a security expert.

🧠 Who It’s For

I’d love feedback from anyone in the dev → deploy pipeline:

✔️ Web developers
✔️ QA testers
✔️ Project managers
✔️ Security engineers / pentesters

If you build or ship websites, this tool should feel immediately useful — or at least interesting enough to poke holes in.

🛠️ Why I Built This

Security often becomes an afterthought — not because developers don’t care,
but because:

Scanners are expensive
OWASP tools feel intimidating
Manual reviews are slow
Teams don’t have dedicated security folks

So the goal with this MVP is to make security checks accessible, fast, and AI-assisted.

🌱 What’s Coming Next

This is version 0.1 — tons of improvements planned:

Deeper OWASP coverage
Better AI reasoning (multiple agents)
Exportable reports
API access for CI/CD
Scheduled scans
Chrome extension for quick checks
Team dashboards + history logs

If enough devs find value here, I’ll double down on building it out.
