What kind of vulnerabilities are covered by the SafeTested shared host scan?
The SafeTested shared host scan covers vulnerabilities related to your web site (HTTP and HTTPS), including SQL injection, Cross-site scripting, and others.
What kind of vulnerabilities are covered by the SafeTested dedicated scan?
The SafeTested dedicated scan will periodically test every port on your host. Those ports that are found to be open are tested daily for all commonly known vulnerabilities.
What is the difference between the shared host testing and the dedicated host testing?
Shared hosts are web servers that may have may different web sites running on the same server. Because permission is required to test any web site, we can only test websites that we have permission to test. There may be vulnerabilities associated with other web sites, or other open ports on the server than can not be tested without permission from the web server owner.
Dedicated hosts are servers that are dedicated to one web site. Because only one company can control the dedicated server, they are able to give permission to scan everything on that server. Dedicated servers can be more secure because they do not have many different web sites using the same server resources.

How will the testing affect my web server?
Our testing will attempt to load every page that is found on your web site. Pages with potential vulnerabilities will be tested multiple times. The safe tested scanner will limit the number of simultaneous connections to your web server to not prevent your normal web visitors from using your site.
What kinds of vulnerabilites aren't covered by safetested?
No web site scanning service can offer 100% vulnerability detection. New vulnerabilities are discovered daily, and checks for these vulnerabilities must be implemented in our scanning software.
Safetested will check your web site the same as any person on the internet can see it. There are several potential problem areas that cannot be detected. These include stolen passwords, employee or insider threats, zero day or other unknown attacks.

Other scanning services promise scan results in less than an hour. How long does safetested take to generate my report?
You initial web site report will take about two days to completed. Because we do not know how big or complex your web site is, we will not guarantee that we can scan your entire site in less than an hour. Any such promises are more likely to miss vulnerabilities in order to make the deadline.
