The Problem
What Wasn't Working
Security auditing tools are either expensive enterprise products or fragmented open-source scripts with no unified interface. Developers needed a simple, fast, all-in-one CLI.
The Solution
How I Fixed It
Built a unified CLI that wraps multiple security scanning techniques — port scanning, SSL/TLS analysis, header auditing, and vulnerability checks — into a single command with structured JSON output.
