Description

Scans web servers for many known issues, misconfigurations, risky files, outdated components, and other security-relevant findings. Security teams use it during authorized web server assessments.

Use it only against systems you own or have explicit permission to test. Web scanning can be noisy, trigger alerts, and expose sensitive findings that must be handled responsibly.
