shcheck 1.7

A basic tool to check security headers of a website

shcheck - Security Header Check

Check security headers on a target website

I did this tool to help me to check which security headers are enabled on certain websites.

The tool is very simple and it's the result of few minutes of coding.

It just check headers and print a report about which are enabled and which not

I think there is a lot to improve, and I will be grateful if somebody wants to help

How to run:

Pypi

pip3 install shcheck
