Product: Netskor

Three steps, nothing to install.

Netskor is a passive, external check of a company's domain. It needs nothing but the domain name.

Netskor is in development and not yet publicly available.

  1. Your domain

    You enter your company's domain.

  2. Netskor reads from outside

    Netskor reads public DNS records, the homepage and a few public files. It sends only a handful of requests to the website and says who it is.

  3. You get a report

    You get a report with a grade, the three most important fixes and an explanation of every finding.
