1. Detect 4 widespread CVEs with the Network Scanner
Our vulnerability research team worked around the clock to embed new detection modules for the latest high-impact vulnerabilities.
Run our Network Vulnerability Scanner against your targets and check for:
the critical VMware RCE vulnerability in the vCenter server – CVE-2021-21985
entry points for the Microsoft Exchange Server RCE (ProxyOracle) – CVE-2021-31195
the SSRF vulnerability in VMware’s vRealize Operations Manager API – CVE-2021-21975
unauthenticated events in the Modern Events Calendar Lite WordPress plugin – CVE-2021-24146
Use the Full Scan option from the Network Vulnerability Scanner with OpenVAS and get a ready-to-use report with detailed findings.
2. Automatically exploit & confirm 3 critical CVEs with Sniper
If you haven’t tried it yet, take this chance to see how Sniper Automatic Exploiter validates, exploits, and does post-exploitation in under 2 minutes for the most recent critical vulns.
Automatically run a full exploitation sequence on your targets and get validation for:
the RCE vulnerability in VMware’s vCenter servers – CVE-2021-21972
the OGNL injection RCE in Atlassian’s Confluence servers – CVE-2021-26084
the unauthenticated OMIGOD RCE vulnerability in multiple Azure Linux machines CVE-2021-38647, among a dozen other widespread security flaws.
3. Limit the number of requests/second with the Website Scanner
You now have the option to control the maximum number of requests per second you make with the Website Scanner.
Go to Website Vulnerability Scanner, add your URL target, select Engine options, and choose Limits. From there, you can set a maximum of 10.000 requests/second.
Here’s what it looks like:
4. Automatically validated Website Scanner findings get a Confirmed tag
When you scan your targets with our proprietary Website Scanner, the discovered findings are automatically validated and get a specific tag.
Each finding is marked as Confirmed so you can easily select the interesting ones to include in the final pentest report.

6. Manually reset the API key authentication on your account
From your Pentest-Tools.com account, you can now reset your API key manually.
To do this, go to My Account, select Plan details, and click on the Reset API key button.
