#27 · [Enterprise] Scan Internal APIs with Elevated Ease Using Escape's Repeater Agent

Dive into an advanced layer of internal API scanning with the introduction of Escape’s Repeater Agent. While the proxy method for scanning internal APIs has been steadfast, our advancement to enhance your experience, especially for our Enterprise customers, has brought forth the Agent.

🏹 Repeater Agent: Your Gateway to Robust Internal API Scanning

The Repeater Agent serves as a powerful facilitator to scan Internal Apps, securely situated behind your organization’s firewall or VPN, by forming a private tunnel between Escape and one of your servers. This means all the requests from Escape are strategically channelled through your server, offering you a seamless, secure, and highly efficient internal API scanning mechanism.

🌐 Workflow Insight:

  1. Repeater Client Connection: Your locally deployed repeater client connects to the repeater manager.
  2. Scan Initiation: When a scan kicks off on Escape, requests are sent to the repeater manager, instead of directly to your server.
  3. Request Transfer: Your client receives and forwards them to your server.
  4. Result Transmission: Scan results are transmitted back to Escape, ensuring you have a clear view and control of your scans’ outcomes.

🛠️ Setup and Utilization:

  • Efficient Setup: Craft a new repeater through the Escape interface and retrieve its repeater ID for setup.
  • Repeater Client Configuration: Employ the repeater client on your server, following the guidelines provided in the readme of the repeater client.
  • Application Configuration: Adapt your applications with a simple configuration snippet, utilizing the repeater ID.
