Add by import from CSV

Creating a new target in Invicti Platform allows you to define a specific website or API that you want to scan for vulnerabilities. Targets are the websites and web applications that you would like to scan using Invicti Platform. They can be added either from the Website Discovery page or directly from the Targets page. For bulk additions, importing a .csv file is a quick and efficient method to add multiple targets at once.

This document walks you through the process of importing a .csv file, configuring each target’s details, and preparing them for accurate and secure vulnerability scanning. If you prefer to create a single target manually, please refer to the linked guide.

Steps to import a .csv file

1. Select Inventory > Targets from the left-side menu.
2. Click the down arrow next to the Create new target button and select Import from CSV.

3. Either create your own .csv file with the three columns as below or use our sample file.
   • Name
   • URL
   • Description

4. The sample file looks like this:

5. Prepare and save the .csv file.
6. Use the drag and drop option or click in the dialog box on the left to upload your .csv file.
7. If the upload was successful, confirm the upload by pressing Done.

info

If you don't want to create a .csv file, you can either create an individual target or use the Create multiple targets function.

8. The Asset details section is updated with the data from your .csv file. You can also add more information to the targets before they are created, such as specifying the environment and assigning applications, collections, or tags. You can do so manually or by using the Bulk update feature.

9. If you don't want to update any other information and would like to save the imported targets just with the name, URL, and Agent, select Add targets (n).

10. The Targets page is updated with the imported targets information.

Manually update the imported asset details

1. In the Asset details, use the dropdown menus for each target to amend or add the Agent, Environment, Application, and Collection, and enter any Tags.

2. Confirm the changes and add targets by pressing Add targets (n).

3. The Targets page is updated with the imported targets information.

Bulk update the imported asset details

1. In the Asset details, enable the checkboxes next to the targets to select which ones you would like to update in bulk, then click Bulk update.

2. Enable the checkboxes to select the columns you want to update, then enter the data. Once you're done, select Update rows. Remember to press Enter after each Tag addition.

3. The Asset details section is updated. Once you are done, select Add targets (n) to save your targets.

4. The Targets page is updated with the imported targets information.

warning

Before running your first scan, make sure to read our authorized target scan policy. To get started safely with the Invicti Platform, you can use our testing website, which allows you to explore scanning features without using your own FQDNs or affecting live environments.
