About this extension

WebSec FileScanner is a powerful browser extension designed to aid web security enthusiasts and professionals in identifying potentially exposed files on websites. This tool automates the scanning process to detect common files such as .env, .git/config, and wls-wsat/CoordinatorPortType, which, if exposed, might pose security risks.

Key Features:

Automated Scanning: Once activated, the tool automatically scans any domain you visit for specific file patterns, ensuring that you don’t miss potential vulnerabilities.

New Path Detection: Even if you’ve previously visited a domain, WebSec FileScanner stays vigilant. When you visit a new path on an already-scanned domain, it checks for the presence of sensitive files within that path.

User-Friendly UI: View scan results easily through a clean and intuitive interface. Detected URLs are clickable, letting you inspect any findings with just one click.

Notification Alerts: Stay informed with real-time notifications whenever a potential exposure is detected.

Data Privacy: Your browsing data remains yours. WebSec FileScanner doesn’t store or transmit your browsing history, ensuring that your privacy is maintained.
