Managing Assets

An asset is a specific target within a project — the system or application you want to test. Each asset can have multiple test jobs run against it over time.

Asset Types

PAIStrike supports the following asset types:

Type	Description	Target Format
Web	Web applications accessible via HTTP/HTTPS	URL (e.g., https://app.example.com)
API	REST, GraphQL, or other web APIs	Base URL or OpenAPI spec URL
Mobile	iOS or Android applications	App identifier or upload
Network	Hosts, IP ranges, or subnets	IP address or CIDR range
Cloud	Cloud service endpoints or infrastructure	Cloud resource URL or identifier
Other	Anything not covered by the above categories	Custom description

Adding an Asset

1. Open a project.
2. Click Add Asset.
3. Fill in the asset details:

Asset Name

A human-readable name to identify this asset.

• Example: Production Web App, Internal API v2, Dev Server
• Required; must be 2–128 characters

Asset Type

Select the type that best matches your target (see table above).

Target (URL / IP Address)

The actual address or identifier for the asset.

• For Web/API: a full URL including scheme (e.g., https://api.example.com)
• For Network: an IP address or CIDR range (e.g., 192.168.1.0/24)
• For Mobile: the app bundle identifier or store URL

Description

Optional notes about the asset. Use this to capture:

• Technology stack
• Authentication requirements
• Scope notes or exclusions
• Contact information for the asset owner

Status

Set the asset's current status:

Status	Meaning
Active	Asset is in scope and can be tested
Inactive	Asset exists but is currently out of scope

4. Click Save Asset.

Editing an Asset

1. Open the project and find the asset in the list.
2. Click the asset name to open the asset detail page.
3. Click Edit Asset.

Viewing Asset History

The asset detail page shows a history of all jobs run against it, including:

• Job start and end times
• Testing mode (black box / white box)
• Number of findings discovered
• Final job status

This history helps track how the security posture of an asset changes over time as issues are remediated and retested.

Deleting an Asset

Warning: Deleting an asset removes all associated jobs and findings permanently.

1. Open the asset.
2. Click Delete Asset in the asset settings or danger zone.
3. Confirm the deletion.

Only Admins and Maintainers can delete assets.
