Web-Based Security Scanning Tool Development

I am looking for a developer to build a lightweight web-based security scanning tool that can analyze websites and detect a few common security issues. The goal of this project is to create a simple tool where a user can enter a website URL and receive a report highlighting potential security weaknesses. The application does not need to be extremely advanced. The focus is on a clean interface and detecting a few important vulnerabilities. Main Features The tool should allow the user to: • Enter a website URL to scan • Check if important HTTP security headers are present (Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, HSTS, etc.) • Detect if the site is running on HTTPS or HTTP • Identify missing security headers • Detect exposed directories such as /admin, /login, /backup if accessible • Provide a simple security report with warnings and recommendations Output Example After scanning a website, the tool should display something like: Security Report for [login to view URL] HTTPS Enabled: YES HSTS Header: Missing X-Frame-Options: Present Content-Security-Policy: Missing Admin Page Accessible: /admin Security Score: 65 / 100 Technical Requirements The developer can use any modern stack. Suggestions include: • Node.js / Express or Python • Simple frontend using React or plain HTML/JavaScript • HTTP request libraries to inspect headers and endpoints The application should be lightweight and easy to run locally. Deliverables • Working web application • Source code with clear structure • Simple instructions to run the project locally Timeline 1–3 days.
