Exposed Admin Panel Detector
loginThis tool actively probes a target for vulnerabilities. Running it without verifying the user owns or has permission to test the target is indistinguishable from attack tooling, so it requires authorization.

What paths does this tool probe?
Common admin panels and sensitive paths: /wp-admin, /admin, /administrator, /phpmyadmin, /cpanel, /adminer, /.env, /.git, /server-status, /actuator (Spring Boot), /api/swagger-ui, and many more. Exposure of these paths is a common finding in security assessments.
Why are exposed admin panels dangerous?
Public admin panels are targeted by automated brute-force tools constantly. Even with strong passwords, an accessible login page is an attack surface — it may be vulnerable to credential stuffing, authentication bypasses, or unpatched CVEs. Best practice: restrict admin interfaces to VPN or specific IP ranges, never expose them to the public internet.
What should I do if this finds an exposed panel?
Immediately restrict access: add IP allowlist rules in your firewall/reverse proxy, move the admin path to a non-default location, require VPN access, or enable HTTP basic authentication as an additional layer. Rotate any credentials that may have been exposed and review access logs for unauthorized access attempts.
