Deep Audits

A deep audit runs the complete engagement pipeline: baseline scanning, asset discovery, and then the Golem agent’s full attack chain against every live asset.

What it covers

Deep mode runs the full methodology:
  1. Baseline scan — nuclei, security headers, common paths (deterministic)
  2. Asset discovery — passive subdomain enumeration from nine OSINT sources, then liveness validation
  3. Live probing — HTTP probing and tech-stack fingerprinting of every live asset
  4. Agent assessment — Golem plans and executes its own attack chain: crawling, content discovery, injection testing, auth attacks, stack-specific exploitation
  5. Finding validation — every agent claim is checked against real command output before it’s accepted
  6. Reporting — score with breakdown, coverage summary, Markdown report
Each phase informs the next. An exposed admin panel found in live probing becomes the agent’s first target. A credential captured mid-chain unlocks authenticated testing.

Security focus

Deep audits consume your app’s security focus areas — the selected emphases are injected into the agent’s system prompt. You can also override the focus per run. With no focus set, the agent covers the standard breadth.

Expected output

A typical deep audit produces 5–40 findings depending on surface area, including High and Critical findings for confirmed RCE, auth bypass, or sensitive data exposure — each with evidence traced to a real command execution. The audit also records a coverage summary: every phase and technique attempted, so you can see not just what was found but what was actually tested.
Deep audits actively exploit vulnerabilities. Run only against targets you own or have written authorization to test.
