About

This tool can be used to determine the adoption of the security.txt standard among several domains. You feed it a list of domains and it will tell you which of them implement the standard already. bash sectxt < domains.txt

The idea was ~~shamelessly stolen from~~ inspired by haksecuritytxt. So why did I recreate a tool that already exists? Admittedly, the main motivation was to play around with Rust's new async/await syntax and learn something new. Besides, I wanted to enforce stricter checks for the standard, i.e., the server must answer with the correct Content-Type header, which leads to more accurate results.

Usage

Mozilla maintains a list of popular websites. Running ./checktop500 downloads that list, and runs sectxt against it. As a result, you will see which of these websites deploy a security.txt file.

For the shell script to run you need to install xsv, which is another convenient utility by BurntSushi.
