# The Matrix

**Example URL:** <https://pentest.ws/e/{engagement.id}/matrix>

The **Matrix** provides a high-level, interactive view of your entire engagement — showing every host and port in one place. It’s designed to help you spot patterns, identify targets, and quickly pivot into deeper testing.

#### Key Features

* **Complete Engagement View** – See all hosts and ports at a glance.
* **Flexible Filtering** – Narrow results by operating system, host type, host flags (including color flags), or port number/state/status.
* **Board Integration** – Filters and organization work seamlessly with your existing Boards.

#### How It Works

* Use filters at the top of the Matrix to refine your view.
* The sidebar automatically syncs with your selection, letting you jump into any host instantly.
* Port states and host attributes update dynamically, helping you track progress in real time.

#### Collaboration in Pro Tier

In shared engagements, the Matrix becomes a **personalized view** for each teammate. Every tester can apply their own filters and focus on their own objectives without disrupting the workflow of others.

#### Why Use the Matrix?

* Spot live services across dozens of hosts in seconds
* Prioritize targets for deeper testing
* Maintain situational awareness across large environments

## Tier Availability

**The Matrix** is available on all tiers.
