Adding Targets

Before an Agentic Pentester can assess an application, you must create a target.

You must ensure that OX can access the application. If the application is protected by firewalls, allowlists, or similar controls, complete the required network configuration before proceeding.

Step 1: Create a target and connect repositories

First, you need to configure a new target, and then you can add repositories. Agentic Pentester combines live application testing with source code intelligence. You can add repositories as a part of the adding target process, or later from the Connected Repos tab.

To add a new target and connect repositories:

  1. On the Agentic Pentester page, click Add Target.

  2. Enter the target information.

Parameter
Description

Target Name

The name used to identify the target in OX.

Description

Optional description of the application or API.

Target URL

URL of the web application or API that Agentic Pentester will assess.

Authentication Method

Defines how Agentic Pentester authenticates to the target, as follows: - No authentication: Used for publicly accessible applications that do not require login credentials. - Username and Password: Used for applications that require simple authentication. In addition to Username and Password you can define an optional parameter, Login URL, which can be different from the Target URL. For example, an application might use a dedicated sign-in page.

Deployment Environment (optional)

Indicates whether the target belongs to a Development, Staging, or Production environment.

Custom Headers (optional)

Additional HTTP headers included in requests generated by Agentic Pentester.

URL Exclusions (optional)

URLs or URL patterns that Agentic Pentester should exclude from testing.

  1. Select Next. The Connected Repositories (Recommended) dialog appears.

  2. Select one or more repositories associated with the application.

  1. Select Add Repositories.

  2. Select Add Target.

Step 2: Verify Connectivity

After the target is created, OX performs a connectivity verification check.

The verification process confirms that:

  • The target is reachable.

  • Authentication credentials are valid.

  • Login flows work correctly.

  • Required configuration is complete.

Connectivity Statuses

Status
Description

Connectivity Verified

OX successfully connected to the target.

Pay Attention

OX detected a configuration issue that should be reviewed.

Authentication Failed

OX could not authenticate to the target.

When connectivity verification succeeds, the target is ready for assessment.
