vulheader

A Python tool to check for missing HTTP security headers on websites. It can check for the presence of security headers like Strict-Transport-Security, Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, X-Content-Type-Options, Referrer-Policy, and Permissions-Policy.

Installation

To install the package, run:

pip install vulheader

Usage

You can use vulheader both as a Python package and as a command-line tool.

As a Python Package

You can use the check() function to check for specific headers or all headers.

Check for a specific header

To check if a specific header is present or missing, use the following code:

import vulheader

url = "https://example.com"

result = vulheader.check(url, "Strict-Transport-Security")
if result == "missing":
    print("Strict-Transport-Security: Missing")
else:
    print("Strict-Transport-Security: Present")

You can replace "Strict-Transport-Security" with any of the following headers to check for their presence:

• Strict-Transport-Security
• Content-Security-Policy
• X-Frame-Options
• X-Content-Type-Options
• Referrer-Policy
• Permissions-Policy

Check all headers at once

You can also check for all security headers at once:

import vulheader

url = "https://example.com"

header_status = vulheader.check(url)

for header, status in header_status.items():
    print(f"{header}: {'Present' if status == 'present' else 'Missing'}")

As a Command-Line Tool

Once installed, you can use vulheader directly from the command line to check the headers of a website.

Check for all headers

To check for all security headers:

vulheader --url https://example.com

Check for a specific header

To check for a specific header, use the -H option followed by the header name:

vulheader --url https://example.com -H "Strict-Transport-Security"

Replace "Strict-Transport-Security" with any of the following headers:

• Strict-Transport-Security
• Content-Security-Policy
• X-Frame-Options
• X-Content-Type-Options
• Referrer-Policy
• Permissions-Policy

Checking all headers:

Strict-Transport-Security: Missing
Content-Security-Policy: Present
X-Frame-Options: Missing
X-Content-Type-Options: Missing
Referrer-Policy: Missing
Permissions-Policy: Missing
