Attack surfaces
Last updated: Oct 26, 2026
Supported
Fluid Attacks tests attack surfaces with two techniques: DAST and PTaaS. DAST is an automated scanner. In PTaaS, pentesters test applications manually.
DAST
DAST tests these attack surfaces:
- DNS records
- Headers
- HTML content
- SSL connections for encryption suites, protocols, and X509 certificates
- Unauthenticated HTTP endpoints
- Webhooks
- WebSockets
PTaaS
PTaaS is available exclusively in our Advanced plan.
PTaaS tests all the attack surfaces that DAST tests. Pentesters can also authenticate to applications and follow API specifications such as Postman, OpenAPI, and Swagger. Thus, PTaaS also tests these attack surfaces:
- Authenticated HTTP endpoints
- GraphQL API
- gRPC API
- OpenAPIs
- Postman APIs
- REST API
- SOAP APIs
- Swagger APIs
Unsupported
DAST and PTaaS do not support DOM APIs.
