Boards give you a flexible, drag-and-drop way to organize hosts within an engagement. Each board is user-defined and can contain any number of hosts, allowing you to visually track progress, group targets, or segment environments.

How Boards Work

  • Create as many boards as you need within an engagement.

  • Add hosts to boards using the sidebar or drag-and-drop.

  • Move hosts between boards to reflect status or workflow.

Organizing Strategies

You can define boards to match the way you work. Common approaches include:

  • Status – In Progress, Vulnerable, Cleared

  • Environment – External, Internal, WiFi, Cloud

  • Domains – AD: US, Europe, Asia

  • Phases – Group 1, Group 2, Group 3

Advanced Uses

  • Board Filters – Narrow your view to a single board for focus.

  • Team Collaboration (Pro Tier) – In shared engagements, assign hosts by board to different testers.

  • Creative Workflows – Use boards for labs (e.g., HackTheBox), with categories like Active Testing, Pwned, Archived.

Key Benefits

  • Visual, intuitive host management

  • Fully customizable for any workflow

  • Scales from personal use to collaborative engagements
