help Intruder FAQ
Is Intruder actually a website speed-testing tool like Google Lighthouse?
No. Intruder is a commercial vulnerability-management platform that scans websites, APIs, cloud systems, and networks for security weaknesses, while Google Lighthouse measures performance metrics such as Largest Contentful Paint.
Can Intruder scan a web application for vulnerabilities?
Yes. Intruder offers dynamic application security testing for websites and APIs, including checks for issues exposed from an attacker’s internet-facing perspective.
Is Intruder free and open source?
No. Intruder is a paid hosted security service rather than an open-source performance tester; sitespeed.io and Google Lighthouse are open-source tools aimed at web performance instead.
How is Intruder different from a manual penetration test?
Intruder automates recurring vulnerability scans and prioritizes detected weaknesses, making it useful for continuous monitoring. A manual penetration test involves a human tester exploring attack paths and business-logic flaws that an automated scanner may miss.
