CVE vulnerability research and prioritization
Search the full CVE catalog to identify critical vulnerabilities in client technology stacks. Produce risk-ranked vulnerability reports with exploitation status and patch availability to drive remediation prioritization.
Found 9 critical/high CVEs. CISA KEV status: 3 are on the Known Exploited Vulnerabilities list (CVE-2024-37079, CVE-2024-37080, CVE-2024-37081 — all heap overflow/privilege escalation). All 3 actively exploited in the wild. Patches available in vSphere 8.0 Update 3 and 7.0 Update 3s. Recommend emergency patching within 24 hours for any internet-exposed ESXi hosts.
Web application penetration testing
Run automated black-box penetration tests on client web applications to identify OWASP Top 10 vulnerabilities, authentication weaknesses, and injection flaws. Generate findings reports suitable for remediation ticketing.
Pentest complete. Critical: 1 SQL injection vulnerability in /api/transactions?filter= parameter (confirmed data extraction possible). High: Session tokens not invalidated on logout (session fixation risk). Medium: 3 API endpoints return 200 with partial data when unauthenticated (should return 401). Low: Security headers missing (CSP, HSTS). CVSS scores and reproduction steps included in full report.
Phishing and email threat analysis
Analyze suspicious emails for phishing indicators, spoofing techniques, malicious link patterns, and impersonation attempts. Support incident response investigations and email security awareness training.
High confidence phishing. Indicators: (1) Sender domain bnkofamer1ca.com — typosquatting Bank of America. (2) Link redirects to phishingdomain.cc/verify — flagged in URLhaus. (3) SPF fail — sender IP not authorized for claimed domain. (4) Urgency language pattern matches 94% of credential harvesting campaigns. (5) Linked page SSL cert issued 3 days ago. Recommend quarantine and employee notification.
Domain and network security scanning
Check domains, URLs, IP addresses, and file hashes against 70+ AV engines and threat intelligence sources. Assess DNS security, SSL certificate health, and domain reputation for client security reviews.
Security scan complete. 2 issues: (1) Subdomain old-portal.example.com resolves to an abandoned IP — 3 blacklists flag this IP for prior spam activity. (2) SSL certificate on api.example.com expires in 11 days (unmanaged cert rotation). DNS: SPF record is overly permissive (+all). No active malware or phishing flags. Priority actions: retire old-portal subdomain, renew API cert, tighten SPF policy.
Software supply chain security audit
Audit client application dependencies for known malicious packages, critical CVEs, abandoned libraries, and supply chain attack indicators. Produce dependency risk reports as part of SDLC security reviews.
Audit complete. Critical finding: PyYAML==5.3.1 — deserialization vulnerability (CVE-2020-14343, CVSS 9.8), actively exploited. High: Pillow==8.1.1 — heap buffer overflow (CVE-2021-25289). Medium: requests==2.25.0 — SSRF in redirect handling (CVE-2023-32681). Supply chain note: 2 packages have had ownership transfers in the last 6 months — warrant manual review. Recommend pip-audit integration into CI/CD.
Cybersecurity consulting business development
Find CISO, VP of Information Security, and Head of Cybersecurity contacts at companies in regulated industries where security consulting demand is highest.
Found 48 contacts. 12 companies have recent SEC cybersecurity incident disclosures (new 4-day reporting rule). 8 have active CISO job postings indicating leadership turnover — strong buying signal. 6 have received NYDFS cybersecurity regulation enforcement actions in the last 18 months.
Ready-to-use prompts
Search for all critical CVEs (CVSS 9.0+) affecting Cisco IOS and IOS XE published in the last 6 months. For each, include: exploitation status (CISA KEV, PoC availability), affected versions, and available patches or mitigations.
Run a penetration test on [URL]. Crawl the attack surface and test for: SQL injection, XSS, CSRF, insecure direct object references, broken authentication, and sensitive data exposure. Produce a findings report with CVSS scores and remediation guidance.
Analyze this email header and body for phishing indicators. Check: sender domain authentication (SPF/DKIM/DMARC), link destinations against threat intelligence feeds, impersonation of known brands, and urgency/fear language patterns. Provide a risk score and incident response recommendation.
Security scan the domain [domain]. Check: DNS records, SPF/DKIM/DMARC configuration, SSL certificate validity and grade, IP address reputation across blacklists, and whether any subdomains resolve to abandoned or suspicious infrastructure.
Audit the package.json file for a Node.js application. Flag: critical CVEs (CVSS 8+), packages with known supply chain compromise history, abandoned packages (no activity in 2+ years), and packages with suspicious dependency patterns. Include recommended versions.
Look up all DNS records for [domain]. Assess SPF, DKIM, and DMARC configuration, check for subdomain takeover risks, validate MX record security, and identify any wildcard records or unusual TXT entries that warrant investigation.
Find CISOs and VP of Information Security at US healthcare organizations with 2000+ employees that are subject to HIPAA and have announced cybersecurity investment programs or experienced a reported data breach in the last 24 months.
Research the current threat landscape for ransomware targeting critical infrastructure in 2025. Include: top threat actor groups, most targeted sectors, average ransom demand, dwell time before detection, and the most effective defensive controls based on incident data.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is the penetration testing tool suitable for production systems?
Penetration Testing is designed for authorized testing of web applications. Always obtain explicit written authorization from the asset owner before running any security tests. Use staging or test environments when possible. The tool performs automated vulnerability scanning — it does not perform manual exploitation or social engineering.
How comprehensive is the CVE database coverage?
Vulnerability Database indexes the full NIST NVD and MITRE CVE feeds, covering 200,000+ CVEs. It includes CVSS scores, CWE classifications, and CISA KEV (Known Exploited Vulnerabilities) catalog status. The database is updated within 24 hours of official publication.
Can phishing email analysis be used for employee security training?
Yes. Phishing Email Checker can analyze sample phishing emails to produce detailed indicator breakdowns that make excellent training materials. Use analyzed examples to create awareness content that teaches employees how to identify specific tactics like typosquatting, sender spoofing, and urgency manipulation.
What compliance frameworks do these tools support?
The vulnerability and penetration testing tools align with NIST CSF, OWASP, and ISO 27001 control frameworks. Deep Research can synthesize specific compliance requirements for PCI-DSS, HIPAA, SOC 2, NYDFS Cybersecurity Regulation, and GDPR. For formal compliance assessments, supplement with your compliance management platform.
How do I use these tools for a third-party vendor security review?
Security Scanner can assess a vendor's domain security posture. DNS Domain verifies email authentication configuration. Vulnerability Database researches CVEs in the vendor's disclosed technology stack. Supply Chain Risk audits their published software components. Deep Research compiles any publicly known security incidents or breaches.
