I Scanned 20 Nigerian Developer Projects for Security Vulnerabilities, Here's What I Found

Before I wrote a single line of product code, I did something most founders skip entirely.

I talked to 16 developers. Then I scanned their projects.

What I found changed how I think about security in the Nigerian tech ecosystem and probably the African tech ecosystem more broadly.

The Setup

I'm building DeadZone, an AI-powered vulnerability scanner for developers who aren't security experts. The idea is simple: paste your URL, get a plain English report showing exactly what's broken, what an attacker can do with it, and how to fix it.
