Getting Started

Everything you need to know to get up and running with CVSEEYOU.

1. Creating an Account

To start using CVSEEYOU, you'll need to create an account. You can sign up using your email address or via Single Sign-On (SSO) with Google or GitHub.

  1. Go to the Sign Up page.
  2. Enter your email and a strong password, or choose an SSO provider.
  3. Verify your email address via the link sent to your inbox.
  4. Complete your organization profile.

2. Verifying Your Domain

Before you can scan a domain, you must prove ownership. This prevents unauthorized scanning of third-party assets.

Verification Methods:

  • DNS TXT Record: Add a specific TXT record to your DNS configuration.
  • HTML File: Upload a verification file to the root of your website.

3. Running Your First Scan

Once your domain is verified, you can launch a scan.

  1. Navigate to the Scans tab in the dashboard.
  2. Click New Scan.
  3. Select your target domain.
  4. Choose a scan profile (e.g., "Full Scan", "Quick Scan").
  5. Click Start Scan.

Scans typically take 10-30 minutes depending on the size of the target. You will receive an email notification when the scan is complete.
