About AttackerView
AttackerView is a security auditing service that looks at a website from an attacker's point of view. The vendor's reasoning is that automated agents constantly sweep the internet for easy targets, so site owners should see the same exposed details that those scanners find.
Instead of listing theoretical issues, it tests for real vulnerabilities using verified exploit payloads. Example findings shown on the homepage include exposed environment files, exposed Git repositories, outdated WordPress installations and TLS misconfigurations, the kinds of problems that small business sites often leave open.
AttackerView is a hosted commercial service with documentation, a blog and a pricing page. It suits small businesses, agencies and developers who want a quick external check of their public sites without running a full penetration test.
