Overview
Attack Path Finder is part of the RHypernova Vulnerability Lab — Scan websites and apps for weaknesses, attack paths, remediation plans, and security scorecards. Whether you are handling a single application or URL inventory or a high-volume workload, this guide covers exactly what Attack Path Finder does, how to use it step by step, and how to get the best results the first time.
If you searched for OWASP scanner, you are in the right place. Most tools force you to install desktop software, add watermarks, cap free usage, or scatter your workflow across five different sites. RHypernova brings Attack Path Finder into one clean, browser-based workspace built for developers, AppSec engineers, startups, and security-aware founders — free to start and with nothing to download.
Below you will find a quick step-by-step, real use cases, best-practice tips, a comparison with the old way of doing this, security details, and answers to the most common questions about Attack Path Finder.
What is Attack Path Finder?
Attack Path Finder lets you from each entry point, show how an attacker could move — and the exact fix for each hop. It runs entirely online, so you can open a application or URL inventory, apply the change, and download the result from any device — Windows, macOS, Linux, Android, or iOS.
Because it lives inside the wider RHypernova Vulnerability Lab, Attack Path Finder shares the same secure processing pipeline and a consistent, ribbon-style interface as every other tool in the suite. That means once you learn one tool, the rest feel familiar, and you can chain several steps together without leaving the workspace.
