Lightweight and requires minimal configuration beyond installing dependencies. Cons:
However, the open-source nature of WebKiller presents a significant ethical dilemma. GitHub is a public platform, meaning that the code is accessible to anyone, including "Black Hat" hackers with malicious intent.

This is the fundamental paradox of full disclosure in cybersecurity: releasing a tool that identifies weaknesses inevitably provides a roadmap for attacking those weaknesses. Civil lawsuits for downtime costs (lost revenue per minute)
