Getting Started: Scanning Your Website
Acunetix Web Vulnerability Scanner
4.3
Step 2: Confirm Targets and Technologies Detected
Screenshot 36 – Scan Wizard Selecting Targets and Technologies
Acunetix
WVS will automatically probe the website(s) target(s) for
basic
details such as operating system, web server,
web server technologies and
whether a custom error page is used
(For more details on Custom Error
Pages refer to page 47 of this manual).
The web vulnerability scanner will optimize the scan for the selected
technologies and use these details to reduce the number of tests performed
which are not applicable (e.g. Acunetix WVS will not probe IIS
tests on a
UNIX system). This will reduce scanning time.
If you already know what technologies the website is running, you can check
whether Acunetix WVS identified them correctly.
Click on the relevant field and change the setting from the provided check
boxes as shown above.
After you have confirmed the technologies, click Next to proceed.
