How can I scan a Firefox-only target?

To scan a target that is usable only by a specific browser, you can configure your Scan parameters with a custom User-Agent string.

In this example, we will assume a Firefox-only target.

You can create a Scan Policy to handle this scenario; the simplest solution will be to clone one of the already-existing policies. For example:

• navigate to Policies -> Scan Policies

• click the Clone button for the Default Security Checks policy

• in the General section, assign a name for your new scan policy

• in the Request section, add a new User Agent

• configure the new User Agent settings:

• set the Name field to Firefox
• set the Value field to:

• ensure that the Force this value checkbox is enabled
• the final result should be similar to the following:

• scroll to the bottom of the page and click the Save button

Simply select this new Scan Policy for any new scan you wish to trigger:
