webtrust-auditor - Python CLI for authorized security-readiness check

项目说明

WebTrust Auditor

![Tests]()

WebTrust Auditor is a defensi readiness checker for websites, email domains and local repositories.

It helps website owners, de and security learners identify common security hygiene issues, understand the risk and generate terminal, Markdown, JSON and PDF reports.

The tool is designed for defensive and authorized use only.

What It Checks

Website

* HTTPS usage
* redirect and final URL
* HTTP status code
* security headers
* SSL certificate expiry
* software disclosure in response headers

Security headers checked:

disclosure headers checked:

Email / Domain

* domain input
* email-to-domain normalization
* public DNS existence
* MX records
* SPF records
* DMARC record and policy
* optional DKIM selector

Repository

* .gitignore
* README.md
* Dockerfile and .dockerignore relationship
* sensitive file names
* sensitive file extensions
* hardcoded secret-like assignments
* GitHub token patterns
* AWS key patterns
* private key blocks
* JWT-like tokens

Full Website Check

--full-check enables a deeper website review for websites you own or are authorized to test.

It uses a fixed curated list of low-impact GET-only checks for common public exposure risks.

Checked categories include:

* exposed en files
* exposed configuration files
* exposed Git metadata
* backup archives
* database dumps
* debug or ser pages
* public source maps
* public dependency/package files
* security contact metadata

Example checked paths:

Full check mode does not perform directory brute-forcing, crawling, fuzzing, POST requests, form submission, exploitation, authentication bypass or destructi.

Use this option only on websites you own or are authorized to test.

Findings, Obser and References

WebTrust Auditor separates security findings from obser.

Findings

Findings are security issues or weaknesses that affect the score.

Examples:

Obser

Obser are useful notes that do not reduce the score.

Examples:

References

Findings are enriched with professional security references where applicable:

* OWASP Top 10 categories
* CWE weakness identifiers
* official reference URLs

Example:

Example:

---

Scoring

Each scanned component receives a score from 0 to 100.

| Se | Penalty |
| -------- | ------: |
| High | -25 |
| Medium | -10 |
| Low | -5 |
| Info | 0 |

| Score | Rating |
| -----: | ------ |
| 90-100 | A |
| 75-89 | B |
| 60-74 | C |
| 40-59 | D |
| 0-39 | F |

Obser do not reduce the score.

Example Result

Example command:

Example summary:

| Component | Score | Rating | Findings | Status |
| -------------- | --------: | ------ | -------: | ------ |
| Website | 95 / 100 | A | 1 | Good |
| Email / Domain | 100 / 100 | A | 0 | Good |
| Repository | 100 / 100 | A | 0 | Good |

Tests and CI

Run tests locally:

The test suite covers:

* scoring logic
* website scanner helpers
* full website check detection logic
* email/domain normalization
* DMARC policy extraction
* repository hygiene checks
* secret pattern detection
* OWASP/CWE reference mapping

GitHub Actions runs tests automatically on push and pull requests.

Safety Notice

WebTrust Auditor is intended for defensi review, learning and authorized assessments.

Default website checks are basic readiness checks.

Full website checks are intended only for websites you own or are authorized to test.

The tool does not:

* exploit
* brute-force directories
* crawl websites
* fuzz parameters
* bypass authentication
* submit forms
* send POST requests
* upload files
* modify remote systems
* perform destructi

Website checks use normal HTTP GET requests.

Email/domain checks use public DNS records.

Repository checks read local project files.
