I saw lots of Disk Space Cleaner with > $10 price, which are basically a good interface for your Mac native storage. I built SpareDisk over the last few days, kept it bare minimum in terms of bloat features but focused on speed, parallelism, and queue management.

You can review your whole file system without hanging the computer. This is version 1. I have tested it well over multiple laptops.

The code is open source, and if you can compile it: use it for free, you can customize your design and stuff.

If you want to get an Apple notarized app ready to use using the source code, you can download it from the website for "pay whatever you want" (minimum $2).

Tell HN: Compliance is not equal to Security

For over a decade, I’ve been doing bug bounty, security audits, and security consulting. And if there’s one thing I’ve seen repeatedly, it’s this:Most startups call a security engineer or hire a security agency only when a compliance deadline is a few weeks or month away.Whether it’s PCI DSS, ISO 27001, SOC 1, SOC 2, or the new push from the EU for MICA and DORA in the Web3 and Fintech spaces,...

fair enough!

maybe it is just I saw 3-4 startups which "humanise" AI response and they are doing decent $, maybe just because of marketing

Some great points in there. Yeah, in the boat of "wanting to have money" while having a job, where two years there is a layoff or restructuring. Trying to find a balance as an engineer in mid 30s and optimising for everything as life passed by, With little bit of fomo here and there!

Ask HN: How do you balance creativity, love for the craft, and money?

Considering with AI an experienced engineer can build anything much faster and we had a discussion around "single person unicorn". How are you balancing your love for the craft and creativity. I see copycats of copycats generating decent $ per month, sometimes I wonder I should I also do the same and leave my job to pursue the unicorn dream? As every 2 years there is layoff, AI taking over......

Check out Space Dash, a new space adventure game where every line of code is written by Claude Sonet. The game combines classic arcade mechanics with a fresh twist. Feedback is welcome!
Re:EasyScan: A Lightweight Web Vulnerability Scanner on Saturday July 08, 2023 @04:55PM (#36648667)
Hey HN!

I've released an updated version of EasyScan, a lightweight website vulnerability scanner written in Python.

EasyScan analyzes the security of a website by inspecting its HTTP headers and DNS records, generating a comprehensive security report with recommendations for addressing potential vulnerabilities.

A complete security audit still requires manual testing and logical thinking, this script is meant for finding out basic server configuration and DNS issues.

Some of the key test cases covered by EasyScan include:

- Same Site Scripting - SPF and DMARC records - Public Admin Page - Directory Listing - Missing security headers - Insecure cookie settings - Information disclosure - CORS misconfigurations - Content-Type sniffing - Cache control

The script is easy to set up and use, requiring Python 3.6 or higher, along with a few dependencies (`requests`, `beautifulsoup4`, and `dnspython`). The generated report provides a quick overview of your website's security posture, helping you identify any issues that might need your attention.

Please note that EasyScan is not a substitute for a thorough security assessment, but it can be a great starting point for identifying potential vulnerabilities in your website.

Check out the project on GitHub: https://github.com/introvertmac/EasyScan

I'd love to hear your feedback and suggestions for improvement.
