Security Researcher Detected: You might have ended up here because your site vulnerability scanner found something interesting. Hi! I'm a security engineer and I'm having a good time interacting with the people and bots that are interested in information security.

You will hopefully find this site is well-secured and I'm not interested in being hacked. I'm interested in learning about how people try to hack me, though.

What an attacker could do

Leftover test scripts often contain debug output, hardcoded credentials, or unguarded functionality (file reads, eval, uploads) that an attacker can abuse for information disclosure or code execution.

How to defend it

Remove all test and scratch scripts from production deployments and enforce a build/deploy process that excludes non-application files.
