Creating a Scan

You can navigate to the scan creation page by clicking the ‘Create Scan’ button on the Home menu or the Scans menu.

Create Scan Button

The scan creation process is divided into 4 main stages:

  1. Set target URL stage
  2. Configure scan scope stage
  3. Authentication information input stage
  4. Review configuration stage

Scan Target URL

Enter the URL that will be the starting point of the scan and click the ‘Discover’ button. When you click the button, Xint will verify whether the entered URL is accessible.

Proxy URL Option

You can specify a Proxy URL to route all scan traffic through the configured proxy.

This option is useful when you need to perform scans against targets that are only accessible within internal networks or restricted environments.

Scan Scope

After Target URL analysis is complete, you need to specify the scope of the scan that Xint will perform through scan scope settings. Since Xint only scans URLs within the scan scope, please configure the scan scope appropriately for your situation.

A suggested scan scope based on the target URL is provided, and default values are automatically added.

Credentials - Public Pages

Please enter the authentication information required for the scan.

For sites that do not require authentication, please skip this stage.

Review & Launch

You can review the information provided for the scan and proceed to configure the report settings.

  • Scan Name: Assign a name to your scan so that it can be easily identified. By default, the scan’s Target URL is used as the name.
  • Report Language: Set the language for the final generated report. By default, the language configured for your organization will be used.

Finally, review the entered information. Once confirmed, click the ‘Start Scan’ button below to initiate the new scan.
