Resource Limitation: Unreachable server¶

Identifier: unreachable_server

Scanner(s) Support¶

Description¶

Servers that become unreachable for extended periods indicate underlying problems such as crashes, misconfigurations, or network issues that can interrupt vital services and create security risks.

How we test: We monitor server availability and response times during scanning. If a server becomes unreachable or fails to respond within expected timeframes, we report the issue. This helps identify infrastructure problems that could lead to service disruptions or security vulnerabilities.
