Few months ago I scanned a list of domains on the web, randomly selected from the top 100k alexa list for common vulnerabilities and oh boy lots of websites are insecure, ranging all the way from xss to sqli.

Anyway, it inspired me to create an online security scanner. Right now I'm focusing on just Wordpress based websites but I'll expand if this gains any traction. Currently it scans for outdated installations, common sql injection, xss, vulnerable plugins and themes along with common shell files. It's been really fun to build so far. Aiming to finish it by the end of next week. Haven't got a domain yet, but I have screenshots of the prototype:

I'm working on http://boardgamehub.co, and my consulting practice at http://ulisesrmzroche.github.io. I'd be happy to get feedback, since everything is so new I haven't gotten much further than empathy stage.

Board Game Hub is the newest way to play boardgames. Instead of having to teach your friends or meet strangers in internet forums, the web app matches people up by the board game they want to play and, once all the logistics are in place, sets up a gaming night at a board game store for them. There is also a premium version where users can become Guild Founders and, with their fame and renown now tracked, put their reputations against other Guilds in a highly competitive social gaming network.

As a consultant, I build high quality startups on a low budget. Providing web development, marketing, and explainer video services. I'm also still working on honing the target market, because it seems like so many people want wordpress stuff.
