How can penetration testers use Zondex?

Penetration testers use Zondex for passive reconnaissance during engagements: discovering exposed services on target networks, identifying open ports, finding vulnerable software versions, and mapping the external attack surface — all without sending traffic to the target.

What search queries are useful for penetration testing?

Common queries include: searching by organization ASN to find all public-facing assets, filtering by specific ports (port:3389 for RDP, port:22 for SSH), searching for specific products and versions with known CVEs, and combining filters like country and service to narrow scope.

Zondex for Penetration Testers

Passive reconnaissance, attack surface mapping, and vulnerability discovery — powered by 85M+ indexed hosts.

travel_explore

Passive Reconnaissance

Enumerate an organization's external footprint without sending any traffic. Search by ASN, IP range, or organization name to discover all public-facing assets.

bug_report

Vulnerability Discovery

Find hosts running software with known CVEs. Filter by specific CVE IDs or search for outdated product versions that are known to be vulnerable.

hub

Attack Surface Mapping

Identify exposed admin panels, databases, CI/CD pipelines, and development tools. Map the complete attack surface before active testing begins.

lock_open

Exposed Credentials & Misconfigurations

Discover services with default credentials, misconfigured TLS, open debug endpoints, and unsecured management interfaces.
