WebSecura

WebSecura is a web-based security analysis tool designed to help developers, security professionals, and everyday users detect and understand vulnerabilities in any public-facing website. It performs comprehensive scanning using OWASP Top 10 principles, HTTP security header checks, SSL/TLS validation, and more — all wrapped in a sleek, intuitive UI.

Problem

  • Users lack easy-to-use tools to perform real-time website security checks.
  • Most vulnerability scanners are too technical or require installation/setup.
  • Security headers, SSL certs, and basic OWASP protections are often overlooked.
  • There's no quick feedback loop for developers to assess basic site security compliance.

Goals

  • Offer one-click scanning for any public URL
  • Provide clear, human-readable recommendations for each failed check
  • Support real-time scanning with detailed status output
  • Make security insights accessible and understandable to everyone

Challenges

  • Some sites failed due to certificate trust issues.
  • Parsing headers across inconsistent server responses was tricky.
  • Structuring 15+ checks into readable categories required thoughtful UI planning.

Solution

  • Solved this by isolating certificate verification errors and informing the user instead of blocking the scan.
  • Added robust fallback logic to normalize and interpret results correctly.
  • Used status tags and icons to make output more scannable.
