  Introduction In today’s rapidly evolving tech landscape, ensuring secure software development is paramount. Vulnerabilities like SQL injections, hardcoded credentials, and insecure deserialization can have devastating consequences if exploited. As part of my MSc in IT (Cybersecurity and Digital Forensics), I created SecureCode Scanner , a static code analysis tool that automates the detection of security vulnerabilities in Python, PHP, JavaScript, and Java codebases. This blog details how the tool works, how to set it up, and why it matters for secure coding practices. Key Features 1. Supports Multiple Languages SecureCode Scanner identifies vulnerabilities across Python, PHP, JavaScript, and Java, making it versatile for developers working in diverse environments. 2. Detects Critical Vulnerabilities The tool scans for a wide range of issues, including: Hardcoded passwords and API keys. SQL injection and command injection points. Weak c...
