Monitoring

Attack Surface Monitor

Every scan run through the vulnerability scanner is tracked over time. Look up a domain to see its last recorded security posture — risk grade, open findings, and when it was last assessed — then re-scan to refresh it and see exactly what changed.

Under the hood

How attack surface monitoring works

01 · Scan

Every scan run through the vulnerability scanner records a compact snapshot of the target's posture — risk grade, score, and open findings.

02 · Track

Snapshots are retained per domain, so the security posture of a host is tracked over time rather than being a one-off result that disappears.

03 · Compare

Re-scanning surfaces exactly what changed — new findings, resolved issues, and grade movement — so drift and regressions are easy to spot.

Attack surface monitoring is how mature security programs stay ahead of drift: an environment that was clean last month can regress when a new subdomain is exposed, a security header is dropped, a certificate lapses, or a forgotten endpoint comes back online. Continuously tracking a domain's external posture turns a point-in-time scan into an early-warning signal. Results are best-effort indicators from automated checks and should be validated before action.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

What is attack surface monitoring?+

Attack surface monitoring is the practice of continuously tracking everything about a system that is exposed to the internet — domains, subdomains, services, certificates, headers, and known findings — so that changes and new risks are detected over time rather than only during a one-off assessment.

How is a domain's posture tracked over time?+

Each time a domain is scanned with the vulnerability scanner, a snapshot of its risk grade, score, and findings is stored. Looking the domain up here shows the most recent snapshot, and re-scanning highlights what changed since the previous one.

Is this free and does it require an account?+

Yes — the monitor and the underlying scanner are free and require no signup. Passive checks can be run against any public domain; active/intrusive checks require you to confirm authorization for the target.

Can I monitor a domain I don't own?+

You can look up the last recorded posture of any public domain and run passive, read-only checks. Active testing — probing for injection, misconfiguration, or brute-forcing paths — must only be performed against systems you own or are explicitly authorized to test.
