Private Scanner

Netlas Private Scanner is designed to perform non-intrusive scans of any target. Scanning is done on demand and is incredibly fast, making the Netlas Private Scanner the ideal solution for passive scanning of large attack surfaces.

It utilizes the same fast scanners that Netlas uses for internet scanning, but it is configured to cover a much wider range of ports. During regular internet scanning, Netlas scans about 150 ports. However, the Private Netlas scanners scan more than 1,200 ports.

Creating Scans

With the Private Scanner, you can scan either an arbitrary list of targets or a previously created attack surface:

  • To scan a list of targets, click the New Scan button and paste the list.
  • Press the Scan Attack Surface button to schedule a scan of a previously created attack surface. You can also create a scan directly while using the Discovery Tool by pressing the Scan button in the bottom left corner.

Scan Attack Surface Scan Attack Surface

Supported target types

A valid list of targets for scanning consists of IP addresses, domains, or CIDRs, with one target per line. Here is an example of a valid list:

example.com
subdomain.example.com
1.1.1.1
1.1.1.0/24

If you select an attack surface as a target, the Private Scanner will scan all the domain names, IP addresses, CIDRs, and IP ranges of the specified surface. The list of targets will be the same as if you used the download function in the Discovery Tool.

Domain Resolving Mechanism

Domains will be resolved at the moment of the scan, so you don't need to include A-records in the list of targets. For example, if you scan the single target dns.google, the scan results will include:

8.8.4.4
8.8.8.8
dns.google

However, in some cases, you may prefer to include A-records in the list of targets. Netlas Private Scanner resolves domain names using the standard underlying operating system mechanism, which returns A-records provided by the authoritative NS server. For example, if you scan the facebook.com domain, the scan results will include:

157.240.247.35
facebook.com
www.facebook.com

As you can see, only one A-record was scanned. Yet, the facebook.com domain actually has at least a dozen A-records. You can check this using the DNS Search Tool.

Scan Coins

You can create as many scan tasks as you have Scan Coins. Scanning one target — whether it's an IP address or a domain — costs one Scan Coin.

Discovery toolbar Discovery toolbar

When you create a scan task, the number of Scan Coins corresponding to the number of targets in the scan is temporarily blocked. The coins are only deducted once the scan is completed. If you cancel the scan before it starts, the Scan Coins will be unblocked and returned to your account.

The number of Scan Coins available each month is determined by your pricing plan.

Unsupported target types

Netlas scanner is not a specialized web application scanner. While it supports HTTP scanning, it only scans the main pages and follows 301 and 302 redirects if such a redirect occurs from the main page. Therefore, it is not possible to specify a URL address as a target for scanning (e.g., https://example.com/).

Wildcard characters such as * and ? are also not supported. If you want to scan a list of subdomains, use the DNS Search Tool or the Discovery Tool to create a list.

Scanner Queue

Once created, the scan is queued. The time required to process your scan depends on your pricing plan and the current load on the scanning agent pool. You can view the approximate execution time of your scan task in the ETC (Estimated Time to Complete) column.

Scanning Agents

Users of the each pricing plan share several scanning agents. So, when you create a task, it may not be sent for execution immediately. The task will remain in a Pending status until at least one scanning agent servicing the queue for your pricing plan becomes available.

For higher pricing plans, each team of users under one license has a dedicated scanning agent. As a result, all scanning tasks created by team members are executed sequentially.

Scan Priority

If you have created several scans, you can change their priority while they are in the Pending status by dragging them. Dragging a scan down increases its priority, causing it to be performed earlier. Conversely, the scan that is highest in the queue will be performed last.

Scan Results

To access the scan results, click the Search button in the row of the corresponding task. This will open the Responses Search Tool, where you can apply any search queries and filters.

You can switch to any other index available to you by clicking on the Index Selection button located to the right of the search bar.

If the scan does not return any responses, the index will not be created, and the Search button in the Private Scanner will be inactive.
