What IP addresses are used for the HostedScan vulnerability scanners?

We provide two methods for identifying the IP addresses for HostedScan's scanners

Last updated on 21 Mar, 2023

  1. HostedScan maintains a reverse DNS to scanners.hostedscan.com for all of our servers so that the IP addresses can be easily identified.

    You can get the full IP list with a command such as nslookup or online DNS lookup tools such as MXToolbox

  2. HostedScan also maintains an API endpoint returning a JSON array of the scanner IP addresses. This endpoint is public and does not require authentication: https://api.hostedscan.com/scanners
