Show HN: I made tool that let's you see everything about any
website
Yes, it's open source: https://github.com/lissy93/web-check :) Why
I'm building this? There are a lot of tools out there for
discovering meta and security data relating to a website, IP or
server. But currently, there isn't anything that does everything,
all in one place and without a paywall/ user sign up. It's still a
WIP, and I'm working on a new version, with some more comprehensive
checks, so any feedback would be much appreciated :)

| Thanks!

| Checking two websites/domains I'm responsible for, this
| information is really confusing or just plain wrong. The "DNS
| Records" card for MX is not the IP addresses of the actual MX
| records (nor am I sure why it would be -- why wouldn't the MX
| records be shown here?). "DNS Server" is the addresses of the
| webservers, not the DNS servers for the domain from whois or from
| the SOA record. It can show certificate information, but not the
| cipher suites? Traceroute fails because traceroute isn't
| available/isn't in path (the error shown is "/bin/sh: line 1:
| traceroute: command not found"). Firewall seems to be looking
| specifically for a web-application-firewall, but "firewall" is a
| somewhat generic term that includes a number of different
| technologies. Email configuration is wrong, probably because a
| website is not the same as a domain -- I don't have SPF or DKIM
| records for the www subdomain, because that's not where we send
| email from. The "Redirects" card says it followed one redirect,
| but there is no redirect on the address I provided.
|
| Does this come down to trying to stuff a bunch of stuff for
| domains into a presentation and information gathering method for
| websites?
|
| For cases where it can not be determined, it would be best to say
| "can not be determined" rather than "No", because the last thing
| anyone needs is some PHB giving people grief because, for
| example, the WAF in use doesn't expose itself to this detector.

| Looks like a super promising project! Thanks for building and
| sharing.
