Chowkidar: Your Digital Pehredar
Hello everyone, I am excited to introduce Chowkidar, a platform designed specifically for security enthusiasts and researchers in the field of cybersecurity. Chowkidar automates the scanning process on your behalf, uncovering all security misconfigurations and providing a detailed report for your reference.
When a security engineer begins testing a website, the first step is to run an automated scan on the provided URL. This process helps to expand the attack surface and ensures comprehensive coverage. It also gathers valuable information, such as the type of server being used, the services running on the server, open ports, and any sensitive data or files stored on the server. Chowkidar automates this process, freeing up your time for manual testing by handling the automated scanning on its own.
