Continuous Attack Surface Diffing Engine

Track scan-to-scan changes in open ports, headers, certificates, and newly introduced code regressions.

Technical Scope & Verification Behavior

Performs differential analysis between scans. Highlights newly introduced vulnerabilities in red, fixed issues in green, and tracks security score trajectory over time.

Automated Inspection Checks (10)
Passive URL parameter fuzzing
Non-destructive boundary tests
Header & cookie flag assertions
Differential latency timing

Proof of Concept (PoC) Vector

Canonical test payload dispatched during security surface audits.
