Form Inputs

The Form Inputs section lets you provide example or default values that SmartScanner will use when filling web forms during a scan (for example, when testing form-based inputs).

Where to find it: open Scan Config (gear icon), Check the “Advanced Settings” box to reveal more options and choose the “Form Inputs” tab.

What to enter

There are a list of common input fields you can fill. Typical values include:

• Username, Password
• Email
• First Name, Last Name
• Address, City, State, Zip, Country
• Company, Phone
• Day, Month, Year, Age
• Prefix, Language

Enter realistic values where appropriate. These values are used to populate form fields the scanner encounters. These values do not change your target site, but they help the scanner simulate real user input.

Practical tips

• Only fill fields that are relevant to the target application, providing unnecessary values is harmless but can increase noise in the scan logs.
• Use realistic-looking data for better test coverage (for example [email protected] for email).
• If the target site requires specific formats (e.g., a phone number format), provide matching values to improve form acceptance.

Privacy note

• The values you enter are stored in your configuration and used during scans. Avoid entering real secrets or sensitive personal data in these fields unless absolutely necessary for an authenticated scan.

Example

• To simulate a registered user: set Username to testuser, Password to Password123, Email to [email protected].

These values will be used by the scanner where it detects matching form fields.
