Targets and sessions¶
Targets define the systems in scope. Sessions keep targets, queued work, and results organized by engagement or testing context.
Add targets¶
Open the target manager and enter one URL per line. Include the scheme:
Use hostnames and paths exactly as approved in the rules of engagement. Treat a redirect to a different host as a new scope decision, not automatic permission.
Review the target table¶
The target table is the main place to:
- search and filter targets;
- select one or more targets for plugin launches;
- open an individual target report;
- compare analyst rankings; and
- export the current target list.
Launching a plugin for several selected targets creates separate work for every plugin-target pair.
Use sessions to separate work¶
A target can appear in more than one session. Use sessions to keep engagements or testing phases distinct—for example, a baseline assessment and a later retest.
Before switching sessions, confirm that the active session matches the scope you intend to change. New targets and plugin launches apply to the active session.
Remove a target carefully¶
Removing a target can affect access to its queued work and collected results. Export any evidence you need to retain and confirm the target is no longer required before deleting it.
Practical naming¶
Prefer names that are recognizable without containing credentials or confidential findings:
