Platypus (Devpost)

A side note that this piece of documentation originally appeared on Devpost at this link.

Platypus is a browser extension that shows you what CVEs the website you're viewing is vulnerable to.

Usage

You'll need Python 3, Git, and Docker on your system. This will allow you to install and run the development environment for Platypus.

Clone the Platypus app from GitHub and execute ./run.sh in your favorite shell.

git clone https://www.github.com/gideontong/SLO-Hacks-2020.git
cd SLO-Hacks-2020
./run.sh

Then, install the Python dependencies in the server folder.

cd server
pip install -r requirements.txt
python server.py

The Python server is now running, so you can start the Chrome extension by unpacking the developer version of the extension in Chrome.

./run.sh build 5.9.24
cd build
unzip extension.zip
