SecureCode Audit: A Linux Server Security Auditor Built with Claude Code

An indie developer built SecureCode Audit — a Linux server security scanning tool — with help from Claude Code. The problem it solves: manual security audit burnout. Instead of spending hours checking SSH config, open ports, exposed .env files, firewall rules, and database access, you run a single command from your terminal.

How It Works

The flow: SSH into your server, go to the audit tool, generate a token, copy one command into your terminal, hit enter. A few minutes later you get a full security report with severity levels (critical, warning, info) and specific fix instructions tailored to your setup.

Real Scan Example

The developer ran it on a dev server. Score: C (61/100). Breakdown: SSH was an F, PostgreSQL was exposed, a .env file was sitting in git history. Known issues that hadn't been prioritized — now surfaced clearly with actionable steps.

Checks Included

The tool runs 22 security checks covering common Linux vulnerabilities. A free tier gives you 6 essential checks (no credit card required). The full report with all 22 checks costs 9 euros (one-time payment). The developer is offering the full audit free to the first 30 signups.

How Claude Code Helped

Per the dev: "I spent most of the time designing the working framework, defining the core entities for the MVP, and applying clean code principles from the start. Then design, testing, and running it against my own servers. Claude Code handled the implementation. I handled the architecture and the decisions." This is a classic pattern — the AI handles boilerplate and repetitive code generation while the developer retains control over system design and validation.
