Most security scanners are either enterprise-priced or barely functional open-source scripts. We wanted something in between — a professional desktop scanner that pentesters actually enjoy using.
Tutorials, research, and best practices from cybersecurity professionals

What actually happens when you point a scanner at a target? We walk through the stages — discovery, fingerprinting, crawling, fuzzing, and reporting — and explain what each phase catches.
SQLi still appears in bug bounty programs and real-world breaches every month. We break down why it persists, what modern payloads look like, and how automated detection actually works.
Server-side request forgery lets attackers reach internal services through your application. We explain the attack, show real-world impact, and walk through detection techniques.
CSP, HSTS, X-Frame-Options — these headers take minutes to add and block entire classes of attacks. Here is what each one does and how to verify your configuration.
GraphQL introduces unique attack surface: introspection leaks, batching abuse, nested query DoS, and injection through variables. We cover how to test each one.
