Back to my cybersecurity project after 4 months. Looking for honest feedback
Hey everyone! About 4 months ago, I stopped working on SentinelForge, an open-source security analysis tool I've been building on my own. I spent some of that time procrastinating, but I also learned quite a bit about software architecture, code quality and the problems with AI-generated code. Recently I picked it back up and started working on a new update. So far I've: Completely redesigned the…
Greetings to all! Approximately four months ago, I halted my work on SentinelForge, an open-source security analysis tool that I had been developing on my own. While some of that time was spent procrastinating, I also gleaned valuable insights into software architecture, code quality, and the challenges posed by AI-generated code.
Lately, I have resumed development and initiated a fresh update. Thus far, I have: completely revamped the user interface, included a placeholder for a future local AI assistant, rectified around ten bugs, encompassing two race conditions, and commenced a review of the codebase with the aim of refining AI-generated elements and enhancing overall code quality.
My objective is to create SentinelForge in such a way that it is accessible to students and beginners, yet retains utility for bug bounty hunters. The vision is to consolidate scanning, vulnerability findings, evidence, and correlations into a single workspace, all while maintaining an intuitive user experience devoid of convoluted interfaces or raw data outputs.
However, before I allocate additional months to feature development, I am eager to receive honest feedback.
Several questions arise: what would compel you to give a tool like SentinelForge a chance? What aspects are lacking or irritating within the current tools you utilize? Would a local AI assistant that aids in elucidating and investigating findings prove beneficial? I am developing this project independently and welcome any criticism or suggestions.
Even if you believe the project to be futile, I would appreciate understanding your reasoning. You may find SentinelForge at the following GitHub link: https://github.com/Sa1tama228/SentinelForge. Thank you.
