Website definition

This document describes what a website is in Invicti Platform and how it differs from a target.

Website Discovery​

In the context of Invicti Platform, the term website specifically relates to the Website Discovery feature. For more information on Website discovery, refer to the Introduction to Discovery document.

Websites​

A website refers to a website or web application identified by the scanner as a potential asset of your organization. These entries are displayed only in the Website discovery list.

Since websites are considered potential—rather than confirmed—assets, your interaction with them is limited. You can:

  • Exclude a website from the list if it isn't part of your organization.
  • Create a Target from the website if it's confirmed as your asset.

Targets​

A target is a confirmed asset—such as a website or web application—that can be scanned for vulnerabilities and further configured. For more information on targets, refer to the What is target document.
