Inspiration
We have an interest in cybersecurity and wanted to use this Hackathon as an opportunity to try new things and also apply some of the things we knew. Our theming for the website was inspired by UD since we wanted to make it a fun project that still was technical and useful for a user.
What it does
SafeNest is an app that allows you to scan a website for surface level vulnerabilities that can be exploited by common hacks. After running it gives the user a list of all of their vulnerabilities and a percentage of how vulnerable their website is.
How we built it
We used Google Gemini to help set up the backend of our code and create a chat bot assistant that provides feedback to the user and allows them to ask questions about the vulnerability of their own websites. The bot will explain what each problem is and how they could possibly implement fixes into their own code.
Challenges we ran into
Running and building test websites as well as getting the chat bot to work.
Accomplishments that we're proud of
Having it work and be as we envisioned.
What we learned
We learned how to implement Gemini into a project and also about simple website vulnerabilities that can be easily avoided.
What's next for SafeNest
Next we would like to implement an AI-Powered Vulnerability Scanner since it would be more advanced and allow our website to detect deeper, more hard to spot vulnerabilities. Another thing would be automatic fix recommendations, so that instead of making the user research the vulnerability our app could just fix the issue for the user.
