Pentestscanner

Attack Surface Management

Automatically map your Attack Surface with results from multiple tools

Get a global view of the possible entry points an attacker can use, including open ports, running services and software, outdated web technologies, and screenshots. Built automatically from your scan results, the Attack Surface gives you a starting point for the next steps in your pentesting engagement.

How automatic Attack Surface mapping works

Attack Surface central view aggregating data from multiple scanners

The Attack Surface view aggregates data from these tools:

Website Recon
Website Scanner
Port Scanner (UDP & TCP)
Network Scanner

Launch scans with any of these tools and watch as your Attack Surface auto-fills with crucial details like IP addresses, hostnames, operating systems, open ports, services, technology versions, and screenshots.

And with targets neatly organized in workspaces, you get a comprehensive exposure map for each engagement with zero time spent on manual data collection.

Attack Surface

Key security risks you can diagnose using the Attack Surface

Outdated, exploitable server software

Cause a data breach by exploiting unpatched vulnerabilities.

Open ports (that shouldn't be publicly accessible)

Reveal sensitive data about the network infrastructure.

Internal network services exposed on the public network

Exfiltrate confidential data by brute-forcing weak passwords.

Old and forgotten web technologies

Gain unauthorized access to sensitive data those web applications process.

6 ways to use the Attack Surface on Pentestscanner

01

Find initial access points attackers can use

Identify infrastructure entry points an attacker might leverage to compromise the target, using data about its technology stack, service versions, and open ports.

02

Prioritize remediation for critical exposures

Identify which parts of the system are most vulnerable (for example servers, websites, databases) and reduce risk through targeted actions such as closing ports and retiring unused services.

03

Assess how much work a pentest might involve

Scope out your future pentesting engagements and reduce your guesswork. Alternatively, compile more accurate budget proposals for your testing projects.

04

Understand how the Attack Surface changes over time

Regular scans keep your Attack Surface up to date and accurate, giving you time to address exposures before attackers notice and use them.

05

Create, improve, and track effectiveness of security policies

Use insights from the Attack Surface to develop and refine internal security policies, keeping them aligned with the actual risks the organization faces.

06

Manage risk from third-party integrations and services

Understand how third-party integrations and services contribute to the organization's exposure and find ways to mitigate risks associated with them.

How we make it easier to manage your Attack Surface

01

See and export all Attack Surface data in a structured format

The Attack Surface groups scan results by asset categories, making it easy to identify old and outdated assets. The option to export it as CSV (table format) or JSON helps you push the information further into your workflows.

02

Zero in on specific exposed and vulnerable components

Visualize and filter technologies currently running on the system (e.g. WordPress, ASP.NET, PHP, Cloudflare, etc.). Easily drill down into specific components and services to find exposure indicators and high-risk areas (e.g. outdated server software, open ports, etc.).

03

Let everyone contribute to and use the Attack Surface

Grant your team access to a workspace so their actions instantly contribute to the unified Attack Surface. Instead of manually aggregating data from various sources, they can build on each other's work and make breakthrough findings that drive the project ahead.

04

Keep the Attack Surface updated with recurring scans

Running a constant cycle of vulnerability scans and automatically enrich and expand your Attack Surface. Maintain accurate, up-to-date visibility into the most vulnerable parts of the system without tedious manual tasks.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Everything you need to know before your first scan.

Yes. Scans are non-destructive and rate-limited by default, and any payload that could have side effects runs through sandboxed proof-of-concept validation instead of against your live system, so normal traffic and uptime are unaffected.
