Just last week Chris Kenst posted a tweet asking > He has subsequently released a blog post called [9 GitHub Lists for Testing](http://www.kenst.com/2017/05/9-github-lists-for-testing/). My personal favourite is [awesome-testing](https://github.com/TheJambo/awesome-testing) compiled by TheJambo. James welcomes additions to this should you have items you think have been missed from it. Some other cool suggestions from people in the thread are: 1. [Bug Magnet](https://github.com/gojko/bugmagnet) Chrome extension by Gojko Adzic. 2. A library called [faker](https://github.com/stympy/faker) which generates fake data (names, addresses, and phone numbers). 3. [Battery Historian](https://github.com/google/battery-historian) a tool to analyze battery consumption on Android I’ve not used all of the repos suggested in the blog from Chris and the replies but, so far, it’s looking like a really useful list. Do you have any other Github repos that you think have been missed? I’m sure there are tonnes but maybe you have a go to set or one that is _always_ open on a tab in your browser. ---

Want to scan your HTTP headers for Security? Its simple. Just do this 😉 // Install Python // Clone or Download hsecscan from github [https://github.com/riramar/hsecscan](https://github.com/riramar/hsecscan) // Once downloaded, unzip the file and save it in a location of your preference // Open your terminal (On Mac or Windows) and navigate to the folder where you have unzipped hsecscan-master // Run “python [hsecscan.py](http://hsecscan.py) -u [http://example.com](http://example.com)” And then you can see the result in your terminal. ---
