Types of Scans
This table lists and explains the various types of scans available in Invicti.
| Field | Description |
|---|---|
| Full Scans | Full Scans (the default ones) scan every area of your website. |
| Scheduled Scans | Scheduled Scans are Full or Incremental Scans that do not take place immediately but at a set time in the future, and possibly on a recurring basis. You can schedule individual or group scans. |
| Group Scans | Group scans are scans that are run for those Website Groups that have been created in Invicti Enterprise. |
| Incremental Scans | Incremental Scans begin over already completed Full Scans, but they only attack newly introduced and amended pages since the initial scan. Neither running nor cancelled scans can be used as a base for an Incremental Scan; the initial scan must first be completed. For further information, see Incremental Scan. |
| Retests | Retests scan the discovered vulnerabilities, not the entire website. |
| Controlled Scans | Controlled scans provide an attack method that can be used to scan a link with selected parameters and engines. It is useful when crawling a web application or imported links. It acts as an alternative to type-and-go scanning, since it allows Invicti to work as a proxy and attack links in a controlled way. You can run Controlled Scans in Invicti Standard only. |
