I made something similar a long time ago, it's mostly aimed at people that use CMSs like Wordpress or Joomla. The database was created using the most common attack endpoints bots have tried on my own sites. https://prober.dev if anyone wants to try it out

That test is actually funny, in a good way; like how you said you got those links in the first place on the about page is pretty much what any experienced web dev finds out day-to-day. Most sites I sent to it came back with plenty of false positives, mainly because htaccess rewrites resolve the URIs as query string IDs and returned empty pages with "Sorry, but the information you're looking for doesn't exist..."

Thanks for trying it out. It’s been a while but I’m sure the test checks for a 404 so if those pages gave a 404 they won’t be recognized as a false positive. I tried leaving some text about possible false positives because some people told me it can make others panic if they don’t really understand web dev well.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

> Why isn't the app obfuscated, why can it be run on rooted device and why doesn't the app use https with pinning? The app in question: a wrapper of a PWA ticket purchase webapp which saves no payment info. Being able to run on rooted device was determined as severe category.

This idiocy can be seen very frequently. Even McDonalds app doesn't allow rooted users...

It always makes me think, this app is not secure in theory if they are worried about rooted users.

The experience is fine for me, though yes, I think it doesn't support some domains yet.

For starters, they don't support any subdomains...

now it support it.

we used to avoid that, and making the input field very sanitised about the input

Quite lousy experience on the input field, keeps complaining to enter a valid url. Additionally it seems to have issues with random sites given as parameter, only working with the displayed examples.

Yes, I can't get it to inspect some of my domains.

can you tell me your domain?

Doesn't seem to work. Either it complains that my domain isn't valid in the input, or it redirects to the landing page if I add my domain to the URL.

now it support it.

What's better about this vs. Mozilla Observatory. https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/observatory (formerly https://observatory.mozilla.org/ ) Or Security Headers? https://securityheaders.com/ Or VENOM? https://github.com/oshp/oshp-validator Applaud the effort, these are things that more devs should be aware of when building websites... Hey some specific feedback on this tool... On mobile, it has a lot of "view port…

This is a very handy feedback, I really appreciate it.

thanks for the suggestions and will be more features comes out to be better to enhance the experience and the knowledge for devs about some other security manners
