Scanning single-tab targets with Invicti Standard

If a target website does not maintain sessions via cookies or local storage, users will be required to log in again when opening the site in a new tab.

Invicti Standard accelerates scans by running multiple sessions or threads to crawl targets and execute attacks.

If your site does not support multi-tab sessions, the scanner may encounter authentication failures, resulting in errors or inconsistent results.

This document explains how to amend the configuration settings to simulate single-tab browser behaviour during a scan in Invicti Standard.
