WebScanner
An async Textual TUI for website reconnaissance — DNS, WHOIS, TLS, security, tech-stack and SEO, with no paid APIs.
Point it at a domain and it concurrently gathers DNS, WHOIS, TLS, security, tech-stack and SEO intelligence, then lays it out across tabs — with a live activity log, a country map and a server-status panel that stay pinned in place.
No paid APIs. Everything runs off free, public endpoints and the standard library:
ip-api.com for geolocation, Cloudflare/Google DoH and dig against public filtering
resolvers for blocklist checks, the system whois, and stdlib ssl/socket. Country
borders are embedded (Natural Earth), so even the map needs no tile service.
Contents
Features
Ten tabs, scanned concurrently and rendered live as each module finishes:
- DNS — A / AAAA / NS / CNAME / SOA / MX / TXT / CAA / DS / DNSKEY records, plus email
authentication folded in: DMARC (
_dmarc) and DKIM (probes ~40 known selectors, each hit labelled with the email provider it points to, where the selector identifies one). - Whois — parsed system
whois, with rich gTLD and ccTLD field support (registrar, dates, nameservers, per-contact details). - Subdomains — discovered natively from TLS certificate SANs and
socketprobes of common subdomains — no third-party enumeration services. - SSL — certificate issuer, subject, SANs, validity window, trust and expiry, parsed from the live TLS handshake.
- Security — TCP connect port scan, presence of HTTP security headers (CSP, HSTS, X-Frame-Options, …), and blocklist status across public filtering resolvers (AdGuard, CleanBrowsing, Cloudflare, Google, OpenDNS, Quad9).
- Headers — the full set of HTTP response headers.
- Tech — technology-stack detection via Wappalyzer, listing each technology with its category, confidence, groups and version.
- SEO — page content (title/description with length hints, H1–H3, social links), top
keyword n-grams,
robots.txtand sitemaps, and JSON-LD structured data. - Sitemap — the site's URLs discovered from its
sitemap.xml(recursing into nested sitemap indexes) and rebuilt into a clickable URL-path tree — no crawling. - Links — internal and external links, with their anchor text.
Alongside the tabs, three fixed panels:
- Activity Log — a running narration of the scan: what each module found, what came back empty and what broke, so every headline result is visible without switching tabs.
- Country map — real country outlines auto-framed around the server's location, drawn
with braille characters (
+/-to zoom). - Server — online status and response time, the final URL after redirects, IP, geolocation, ISP, AS, hosting provider and detected CMS (name and version).
Requests to the site being scanned wear a coherent desktop-Chrome identity — a real
User-Agent plus the headers Chrome actually sends beside it — picked once per scan and
reused for every request, and reported in the Activity Log. This is about getting the real
page back rather than a WAF block page, and it only defeats naive User-Agent filtering: the
TLS and HTTP/2 fingerprints are still those of requests, so enterprise bot management sees
straight through it. Third-party lookups (ip-api, DoH) keep an honest scanner User-Agent.
Installation
Requires Python 3.11+.
The easiest way is with pipx (or uv),
which installs webscan into its own isolated environment:
pipx install web-scanner
# or
uv tool install web-scanner
To install the latest unreleased code, point either tool at the repo instead:
pipx install git+https://github.com/iamramizk/web-scanner.
From source (development)
git clone https://github.com/iamramizk/web-scanner.git
cd web-scanner
python3 -m venv .venv
source .venv/bin/activate # Unix/macOS (.venv\Scripts\activate on Windows)
pip install -e .
Usage
webscan example.com
You can also run it as a module (python -m webscanner example.com), or from a source
checkout without installing (python app.py example.com).
Press s inside the app to save every tab to CSV. When installed, results are written to a
./<domain>_<timestamp>/ folder in your current directory.
Updating
pipx upgrade web-scanner
If you installed from Git, pipx upgrade won't see new commits (the version is unchanged),
so reinstall from source instead:
pipx install --force git+https://github.com/iamramizk/web-scanner
