Detection Options
Learn about the available Verdex options to optimize your scans.
Basics
To perform its scans, Verdex needs the URL of the target to scan, for example:
By default, Verdex tries to automatically detect the target product.
Use -product to specify the product to scan (see Products section for options).
Multiple targets
To scan multiple targets at the same time, use -list (one target per line):
Output formats
To change the output format of Verdex results, see dedicated page:
Logging
To display verbose output (useful for debug), use -verbose:
Improvement Reports
Sometimes, Verdex cannot determine version for multiple reasons (missing or incorrect rules, specific configuration, …).
Use -report-errors to automatically report failures to Verdex maintainers for manual debugging.
By default, targets are not reported.
URLs of reported targets will NOT be publicly visible and will be accessed by Verdex maintainers for debugging purposes only.
Custom templates
Verdex uses templates to run scans (see Contribute section for more information).
By default, templates are loaded from latest release of official Verdex repository.
To run scans with custom templates, use -templates-directory:
If Verdex is run locally with go run ., templates directory is automatically set to ./templates
