pensar targets

Overview

A target is a single attack-surface endpoint exercised during a pentest. Pentest execution logs are persisted against the target rather than against the issues it produced, so pensar targets is how you query the full activity for an endpoint — including runs that found nothing.

That distinction matters: pensar logs is keyed by issue, so it can only show you work that ended in a finding. If you want to know what the agent tried against an endpoint that came back clean, you need the target.

All commands operate on the selected workspace, which is chosen when you connect with pensar login.

Usage

$pensar targets <pentestId> # List targets for a pentest
$pensar targets logs <targetId> [filters] # List agent logs for a target
$pensar targets search <targetId> <query> [opts] # Search agent logs for a target

Prerequisites

You must be connected to Pensar Console via pensar login before using this command.
