# QR Code Generator for Security Reports Simple Python microservice that generates scannable QR codes for embedding external references in pentest reports, compliance documentation, and client deliverables. ## The Problem Security firms include 10-15+ external URLs in reports: - CVE database references (cve.mitre.org, nvd.nist.gov) - Remediation guides and vendor documentation - Proof-of-concept videos on private servers - Secure file sharing portals for sensitive findings - OWASP/SANS reference materials **Result:** Reports look cluttered with long URLs, clients mistype links, and PDFs feel unprofessional. ## The Solution Local Python microservice that converts URLs to scannable QR codes: - Input: Any URL (API endpoint, documentation, CVE reference) - Output: Clean PNG file ready for report embedding - Use Case: Drop QR code in PDF → Client scans → Direct access to resource **Key Features:** - Runs locally (no external API dependencies) - Instant generation (< 1 second) - Standard PNG output (embeds in Word/PDF) - Clean presentation for B2B clients ## Use Cases **Offensive Security:** - Link to detailed exploitation POCs without cluttering executive summary - Reference multiple CVEs without breaking page flow - Direct clients to secure remediation guides **GRC Firms:** - Compliance documentation with regulation references - Evidence collection portals for auditors - Policy document version control links **All Segments:** - Event booth materials (link to case studies) - Business cards (portfolio/demo links) - Physical security handbooks with digital resources ## Tech Stack - Python 3.8+ - `qrcode` library (pip install qrcode[pil]) - FastAPI (lightweight local service) - PIL/Pillow (image processing) ## Target Audience - Offensive security firms generating 20+ pentest reports monthly - GRC consultants creating compliance documentation - Security companies with client-facing deliverables ## Impact **Before:** 3-page pentest report with 12 long URLs breaking across lines **After:** Clean 2-page report with embedded QR codes for optional deep-dives **Efficiency:** 30 seconds per URL → 5 seconds automated generation **Client Experience:** Professional presentation, zero typo errors, mobile-friendly access --- image https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/b80ef6a8-dddf-4930-a730-e79d9a3fa7e2 Built by Kunsh Tanwar | Founder of ETXcyberops | Contact: kunsh@etxhuman.com
