How does Intruder’s Cloud Sync work?

Cloud Sync automatically adds any new external IP addresses or hostnames in cloud accounts as Intruder targets – so you don't have to. You can also enable these new targets to be scanned automatically as soon as they are added.

What underlying scanner does Intruder use?

How do I know if I am choosing the right vulnerability scanner?

Firstly, if the vulnerability scanner that you’re considering offers a free trial, we recommend scanning a known vulnerable system (e.g. testphp.vulnweb.com) to see the spectrum of results that the scanner comes back with and quality of the checks. Of course, there are other important areas to consider when choosing the right scanner for AWS, such as the scanner’s reporting capabilities and features.
