Show HN: Penthera, offline pentest security scanner (open-source, rule-based)

A developer has created an open-source, rule-based security scanner called Penthera for offline pentesting of applications and websites. The tool was motivated by the developer's own experience of manually performing security checks on their apps and sites before launch, which helped prevent malicious attacks. The developer notes that basic security checks can be effective in preventing attacks, even for those without extensive cybersecurity expertise. The creation of Penthera is also a response to the growing use of AI-generated code and coding tools, which can introduce unknown security risks. The developer believes that security should be accessible and not reliant on complex AI systems. Penthera is intended to provide a local, non-AI security solution for applications and websites.
