You Should Know:

1. Building a Secure Portfolio with AI Tools

AI can help automate security checks and improve code quality. Here are some tools and commands to secure your web portfolio:

  • Automated Vulnerability Scanning with Nikto
    nikto -h https://yourwebsite.com

  • Check for Outdated Dependencies (Use `npm audit` for Node.js projects)

    npm audit

  • OWASP ZAP for Web App Security Testing

    zap-cli quick-scan -s xss,sqli https://yourwebsite.com

2. Hardening Your Web Server

If hosting on Linux (e.g., Apache/Nginx), apply these security measures:

  • Disable Server Signature (Apache)
    echo "ServerSignature Off" >> /etc/apache2/apache2.conf

  • Enable HTTPS with Let’s Encrypt

    sudo apt install certbot 
sudo certbot --apache -d yourwebsite.com

  • Block Malicious IPs with Fail2Ban

    sudo apt install fail2ban 
sudo systemctl enable fail2ban

3. AI-Assisted Security Scripting

Use Python with AI libraries to automate security tasks:

import requests 
from bs4 import BeautifulSoup

Check for broken links (AI-enhanced crawling) 
def check_links(url): 
response = requests.get(url) 
soup = BeautifulSoup(response.text, 'html.parser') 
for link in soup.find_all('a'): 
href = link.get('href') 
if href and 'http' in href: 
link_status = requests.head(href).status_code 
print(f"Link: {href} | Status: {link_status}")

check_links("https://yourwebsite.com")

What Undercode Say:

AI is transforming cybersecurity by automating repetitive tasks, improving threat detection, and assisting in secure coding. Whether you’re a pentester, bug hunter, or developer, integrating AI tools into your workflow can enhance efficiency.

Key Commands for Security Pros:

  • Linux:
    chmod 600 /etc/shadow  Restrict sensitive file access 
sudo ufw enable  Enable firewall

  • Windows:

    Get-NetFirewallRule | Where-Object { $_.Enabled -eq "True" }  Check active firewall rules

  • CTF & Bug Hunting:

    sqlmap -u "https://example.com/login?id=1" --dbs  SQL injection test

Expected Output:

A secure, AI-enhanced portfolio with automated vulnerability checks, hardened server configurations, and continuous monitoring for threats.

Prediction:

AI-powered security tools will dominate bug bounty hunting and penetration testing, reducing manual effort while increasing accuracy in vulnerability detection.
