Launch the scan

After onboarding and payment, your first scan launches automatically. For subsequent scans:
  1. Click New Scan in the sidebar
  2. Select your target
  3. Choose scan type and configuration
  4. Click Launch

Monitor progress

The scan detail page shows real-time progress:
  • Progress bar — current scan phase (reconnaissance → vulnerability analysis → report generation)
  • Terminal — live output from the scan engine
  • Sandbox — CPU, memory, and network metrics of your dedicated Kali Linux instance
  • Findings — vulnerabilities appear as they’re discovered
Scans run in an isolated Kali Linux sandbox. Each scan gets its own dedicated instance that’s destroyed after completion.

Scan phases

  1. Provisioning — spinning up your dedicated sandbox (1–3 min)
  2. Cloning — pulling your source code
  3. Reconnaissance — mapping the application surface
  4. Vulnerability analysis — testing for security issues
  5. Verification — confirming findings are real
  6. Report generation — producing your results
