Screener

Check e-book files for security and privacy issues.

Motivation

E-books are great, but the common file formats have security and privacy issues. Most use web browser technologies like HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. Therefore, e-books are vulnerable to security and privacy issues that already exist on the web.

Screener aims to check e-book files for these issues so that you can read with peace of mind!

Features

• Check e-book files for JavaScript tags.
• Check e-book files for images with external sources to prevent tracking.
• Supports .epub, .mobi, and .azw3 files.

Get started

Screener is available on PyPI. To install, run

pip install screener

Usage

To check a file, try:

screener path/to/file.epub

For help:
