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.
