Scan Modes

Launchsafe offers three scan modes to balance speed and thoroughness.

QuickCopy Anchor Link

launchsafe --target ./app --scan-mode quick

Fast checks for obvious vulnerabilities. Best for:

• CI/CD pipelines
• Pull request validation
• Rapid smoke tests

Duration: Minutes

StandardCopy Anchor Link

launchsafe --target ./app --scan-mode standard

Balanced testing for routine security reviews. Best for:

• Regular security assessments
• Pre-release validation
• Development milestones

Duration: 30 minutes to 1 hour

White-box behavior: Uses source-aware mapping and static triage to prioritize dynamic exploit validation paths.

DeepCopy Anchor Link

launchsafe --target ./app --scan-mode deep

Thorough penetration testing. Best for:

• Comprehensive security audits
• Pre-production reviews
• Critical application assessments

Duration: 1-4 hours depending on target complexity

White-box behavior: Runs broad source-aware triage (semgrep, AST structural search, secrets, supply-chain checks) and then systematically validates top candidates dynamically.
