Developer Releases Open-Source Web Security Scanner and Seeks Community Testing
A frontend developer has launched Web Security Analyzer Pro v3.0, a free and open-source web security scanner built over three months. The tool features 49 security modules covering WordPress, cPanel, SQL injection, XSS, SSL, and API security, along with a WAF evasion engine and a built-in CVE database for vulnerabilities from 2024 to 2026. Despite achieving a 99.5% pass rate in over 230 automated tests, the creator acknowledges limitations as a one-person project, including potential edge-case failures and less testing on PostgreSQL. The software is distributed under the MIT license and targets web developers, security researchers, penetration testers, DevOps engineers, and students. It is designed to complement, not replace, professional tools like Burp Suite Pro. The developer explicitly calls for community assistance, urging users to test the scanner on authorized sites, report bugs or false positives, and contribute code via pull requests. The project emphasizes collaborative improvement over perfection, offering modular code that allows easy addition of new security modules. Installation is straightforward via Python pip, supporting both stealth scanning and interactive modes.
