8-Layer Security Engine

One scan. Eight layers.
0+ checks.

WebHound runs eight parallel security engines against every public surface of your website. Here's exactly what each layer checks, and why it matters.

The Eight Layers

What each engine checks

All eight engines run in parallel on every scan. No black boxes — here's the full breakdown.

01

Reconnaissance

Passive discovery of every public asset — subdomains, open ports, linked pages, and exposed paths — without touching anything that should be private.

1,240+ checks
02

DNS & Infrastructure

DNS record auditing, hosting chain analysis, SPF/DKIM/DMARC validation, and DNSSEC presence to prevent email spoofing and subdomain takeover.

890+ checks
03

SSL / TLS Analysis

Certificate validity, cipher suite strength, protocol version support, and HSTS preload status — ensuring your encryption is both current and correctly configured.

640+ checks
04

Vulnerability Scanning

Cross-referenced against 18,400+ CVE signatures to detect known exploits in detected frameworks, libraries, and server software.

18,400+ checks
05

Web App Scanning

Dynamic OWASP Top 10 testing covering SQL injection, reflected XSS, CSRF, IDOR, and broken authentication patterns across all discovered endpoints.

9,200+ checks
06

Configuration Review

Security response headers, CORS policy, cookie flags, and server-level hardening — the misconfigurations that turn minor bugs into critical breaches.

2,100+ checks
07

Threat Intelligence

IP and domain reputation checked against global blocklists, PhishTank, and known breach datasets to surface infrastructure that has already been flagged.

6,800+ checks
08

Monitoring & Alerts

Continuous post-scan surveillance using WADE behavioral baselines. New scripts, domain additions, and structural DOM changes trigger instant alerts.

3,400+ checks

The Workflow

From URL to action in minutes

01

Add your website

Enter your URL. No installation, no DNS changes, no server credentials. We only access what a browser would.

02

All eight engines run in parallel

WebHound fires all eight security layers simultaneously. A full scan completes in under 3 minutes for most sites.

03

Findings are grouped and ranked

Results are organized by engine category, severity, and fix priority — not a raw alert dump. Every finding links to the affected URL.

04

Act on plain-English guidance

Each finding includes what was detected, why it matters, the CVSS score where applicable, and a concrete remediation path.

05

WADE sets your behavioral baseline

After the first scan, WADE fingerprints your site. Subsequent scans compare against that baseline and alert you only when something meaningful changes.

06

Export and share

Download findings as SARIF (GitHub/CI), CSV (ticketing), or Markdown (wikis, PRs, client reports) — whatever format your workflow needs.

Passive scanning only — always safe to run

Every WebHound engine is read-only. We fetch content exactly as a browser would — no credentials, no injection attempts, no fuzzing, no load testing. Safe to run continuously against live production without risk of downtime or data modification.
