Target definition

A target in Invicti Platform refers to any web asset you want to scan for security vulnerabilities—this includes websites, APIs, web applications, servers, and network devices. To perform a security scan, you must first add the asset as a target. Typically, one target license is required per domain or web application.

Configure target settings page.

Licensing rules for targets​

When determining how targets are counted for licensing, the following rules apply:

  • localhost and 127.0.0.1 each consume 1 target
  • example.com and www.example.com together count as 1 target
  • The protocol (http vs. https) does not affect target count—1 target
  • Subdomains are considered separate targets: for example, www.example.com and api.example.com = 2 targets
  • Different paths within the same domain count as 1 target: for example, example.com and example.com/blog/ = 1 target
  • Different ports for the same domain count as 1 target: for example, example.com:8080 and example.com:8888 = 1 target
  • Invicti test sites (for example, vulnweb.com) do not consume any target licenses
Important

Regardless of how target variations are configured, the total number of targets you can create is limited to five times the number of targets included in your license.
