In plain words

This is a tool for scanning websites to find and analyze security.txt files, which are standardized files that contain security contact information and vulnerability disclosure policies. It is designed for security researchers, website administrators, and developers who need to identify and audit security.txt implementations across multiple domains. The tool automates the process of discovering these files and their contents from a GitHub repository.

    Yes, it's open source: https://github.com/lissy93/web-check :) Why I'm building this? There are a lot of tools out there for discovering meta and security data relating to a website, IP or server. But currently, there isn't anything that does everything, all in one place and without a paywall/ user sign up. It's still a WIP, and I'm working on a new version, with some more comprehensive checks, so any feedback would be much appreciated :)
