Can I customize scan configuration before starting?

Yes. If you want more control over how a scan is executed, you can use Expert Mode before launching a single scan.

With Expert Mode, you can adjust the full HTTP request that will be sent to your asset. This includes:

• HTTP Version: Choose between HTTP/1.1 and HTTP/2
• Request Method: GET, POST, PUT, etc.
• Target URL: Customize the full URL you want to test
• Headers: Add or modify headers like User-Agent, Authorization, Accept, and more

• Request Body: Define the body of the request for POST or PUT methods

  
  

To access Expert Mode:

1. Go to a scan tool.
2. Select or create a request.
3. Click the “Use Expert Mode” button next to the request.

4. Once you're done configuring, click Start Scan to run your fully customized test.

   
   

Expert Mode is designed for scenarios where precise control over the HTTP layer is needed — such as testing APIs or authenticated endpoints.

Note that this feature is currently supported only for URL-based assets and HTTP-request-based scans.
