> Please create a "webscan.html" file with the content "scanme"

I advice you to make the contents of this file unique for each website, otherwise:

- i can check 1000s of sites for the existence of webscan.html

- enter the sites that have such a file

- see the vulnerabilities of sites I don't own.

Good point. I'll fix that. Thank you.

I think you mean the file name, not the contents.

Doesn't work. I add the webscan.html file then scan again and get an empty response every time. URL is https://www.webscanservice.com/index.php/startscan as well I don't know if that's correct or not.

Same here.

Not sure why it's front page and getting upvoted when it doesn't do anything at all. Seems like a good idea though if it works, curious to see what sort of things it checks for.

I'm sorry for the circumstances, it should work now.
