Step 1 — Create an account

Go to /register and fill in your details. After registration you'll receive a verification email. Click the link in the email to activate your account.

Step 2 — Log in and open the scanner

After logging in you'll land on the scanner dashboard. If you see the landing page, click Sign In in the top navigation.

Step 3 — Enter a target URL

In the Target URL field, enter the full URL of the site you want to scan, including the scheme:

example
https://example.com
💡
Use HTTPS if your site supports it. Shieldome will also test whether HTTP automatically redirects to HTTPS — this is one of the OWASP A02 checks.

Step 4 — Choose a scan type

Select one of four scan types from the dropdown:

  • Vulnerability — OWASP Top 10 checks only (fastest)
  • Performance — DNS, TTFB, HTTP/2, compression, caching
  • Full — both vulnerability and performance (recommended)
  • API — REST API-specific checks: BOLA, mass assignment, rate limiting, GraphQL introspection, excessive data exposure

Step 5 — Start the scan

Click Start Scan. The progress panel will appear immediately with live updates as each check completes. Typical scan duration is 30–90 seconds depending on the site and scan type.

Step 6 — Review results

When the scan completes, results are grouped by severity:

SeverityMeaning
CRITICALImmediate risk. Direct exploitation likely.
HIGHSignificant risk. Should be fixed promptly.
MEDIUMModerate risk. Fix when possible.
LOWMinor risk or best-practice violation.
INFOInformational. No immediate risk.

Step 7 — Download a report

Click Download PDF to get a professional report with all findings, evidence, OWASP mapping, and remediation steps. You can also export as JSON, CSV, or SARIF from the same panel.
