# Applications

> Manage web applications, configure scans, and monitor vulnerabilities across your attack surface.

## Overview

The Applications module is the control center for managing web applications within the Web Application Scanner (WAS).

It enables teams to onboard applications, configure scans, monitor vulnerabilities, and track security posture over time.

</Frame>

### Insights

* Total vulnerabilities identified
* Resolution progress tracking
* Visual security posture overview

***

## Requests & URLs (Attack Surface Visibility)

<Frame caption="Discovered endpoints and request-level insights">
  <img src="https://mintcdn.com/snapsec-23724fa2/d62XbURuyDAslSfh/images/was/applications-inside2.png?fit=max&auto=format&n=d62XbURuyDAslSfh&q=85&s=aac8099a4acccb5649517f0da9880f72" width="1603" height="843" data-path="images/was/applications-inside2.png" />
</Frame>

### What You Get

* Complete endpoint inventory
* HTTP method visibility (GET, POST, etc.)
* Host-level mapping
* Vulnerability mapping per endpoint

This is where WAS becomes powerful—**you’re not just scanning, you’re mapping the attack surface.**

</Frame>

### Includes

* Scan status
* Total requests executed
* Rules applied
* Vulnerabilities discovered per scan
* Timeline tracking

***

## Scanner Configuration

<Frame caption="Configure scanning behavior and scope">
  <img src="https://mintcdn.com/snapsec-23724fa2/d62XbURuyDAslSfh/images/was/applications-inside5.png?fit=max&auto=format&n=d62XbURuyDAslSfh&q=85&s=c41b6af73fba7d89eaa1160aa047a2df" width="1658" height="857" data-path="images/was/applications-inside5.png" />
</Frame>

### Scan Types

* **Aggressive Scan** — Deep, comprehensive testing
* **Quick Scan** — Fast vulnerability checks

### Configuration Options

* Target URL
* In-scope URLs
* Exclusion patterns
* Authentication script support
* Scan profile selection

This enables precise and controlled scanning of complex applications.
