Show HN: COBOL-REKT, a toolkit for analysing and reverse-engineering COBOL

This is an evolving toolkit of capabilities helpful for analysing and reverse engineering legacy Cobol code. Currently, the following capabilities are available:

- Program / Section-level flowchart generation based on AST (SVG or PNG) - Parse Tree generation (with export to JSON) - Control Flow Tree generation (with export to JSON) - Allows embedding code comments as comment nodes in the graph - The SMOJOL Interpreter (WIP) - Injecting AST and Control Flow into Neo4J - Injecting Cobol data

Show HN: Browser-based XSS scanner

This is a simple single-file python program that can find basic XSS (cross-site scripting) vulnerabilities in a target url.

This is a very low precision XSS detection strategy because most reflection does not support execution.

This program uses a different approach, and instead opens the target url
