VECTOR/SEC — Cybersecurity Assessment Platform

VECTOR/SEC is a security assessment platform designed to help users evaluate the publicly observable security posture of a website through a constrained, passive scanning workflow. It combines a photography-led interface with a Node.js assessment engine, presenting technical checks through a clear dashboard with prioritized findings, risk scoring, and actionable remediation guidance.

About the project

Built with React and Vite, the platform allows users to submit a public HTTP or HTTPS target and receive an assessment covering DNS resolution, HTTP status and redirects, security headers, cookie attributes, mixed content, and TLS certificate health. A guarded Vercel serverless endpoint validates targets, rejects private and reserved IP addresses, restricts ports, limits requests, and applies rate limiting to reduce abuse.

The reporting interface includes scan progress, a visual risk score, severity-based finding filters, and downloadable JSON reports. Automated tests cover target normalization, unsafe-target rejection, finding analysis, and risk scoring.

VECTOR/SEC is an MVP for preliminary security triage, not a full vulnerability scanner or a replacement for penetration testing.
