AI Insights on Attack Surface: Ask Your Targets Questions

Attach IPs and ports, ask questions, get formatted answers. Learn how HackFast AI Insights Briefing and Chat tabs accelerate recon analysis.

Recon Data Is Useless Without Analysis

You paste an nmap scan, import Shodan data, and stare at forty open ports. Which ones matter? What should you enumerate first? What CVEs apply to that weird service on 8443?

HackFast AI Insights on Attack Surface lets you attach IPs and ports, then ask targeted questions. The assistant responds with formatted headings, lists, and actionable next steps — grounded in your actual scan data.

Chat vs. Briefing Tabs

Chat tab: Interactive back-and-forth. Ask follow-ups, request specific commands, explore attack paths. Supports Tab mentions for people and credentials.

Briefing tab: Structured target summary generated from attached assets. Good starting point at the beginning of an engagement or when onboarding a team member to the project.

Attack Surface Redesign Highlights

  • Aligned panel grid with slimmer headers and steadier AI Insights box
  • Passive Recon panel with host summary, stat tiles, and expandable services
  • Device guess in Service Ports with confidence display and inline name editing
  • Port detail view with exposure warnings for risky services
  • Paste nmap output to capture banners, hostnames, OS hints, and script results

Educational: Questions That Unlock Value

Try these prompts after attaching a target IP:

  • "Summarize the attack surface and rank ports by likely exploitability"
  • "What default credentials should I try on the services detected?"
  • "Identify any services that should not be internet-facing"
  • "Suggest enumeration commands for each non-standard port"
