Best Practices Before You Scan

⚠ Important: Always work on a copy or a dedicated branch — never run scans or apply AI-generated fixes directly on production systems or your main repository branch.
  • Use a branch or backup. Before applying any AI-generated fixes, create a Git branch or backup copy of your files. This lets you review, test, and roll back changes safely.
  • Review fixes before applying. AI-suggested fixes are provided as guidance only. Always review and test them in a non-production environment before committing to production.
  • Non-production first. Run analyses in a development or staging environment where possible, especially when using the AI Fix feature.

Running Your First Scan

Certificate Scan

  1. Click Certificate Analysis in the sidebar
  2. Enter a hostname (e.g. example.com) or upload a .pem file
  3. Click Scan

Code Scan

  1. Click Code Analysis
  2. Select a folder containing your source code
  3. Click Scan — OpenGrep scans all supported files

Network Scan

  1. Click Network Analysis
  2. Enter a hostname or IP address
  3. Click Scan

Binary Scan

  1. Click Binary Analysis in the sidebar
  2. Click Select File and choose a binary (EXE, DLL, ELF, etc.)
  3. Click Scan

Note: Cerebion Rivet can analyze binaries from any platform regardless of your OS. You can scan Linux ELF binaries, macOS Mach-O libraries, or Windows PE files from any machine.

Understanding Your Risk Score

Binary, Certificate, and Network scans produce a 0–100 Quantum Risk Score. Code scans report findings by severity but do not produce a risk score.

Score ranges:

  • 0–25: Low risk — algorithms are quantum-resistant or low priority
  • 26–50: Medium risk — plan migration within 3–5 years
  • 51–75: High risk — prioritize migration
  • 76–100: Critical — immediate action recommended

See Risk Scoring for full details.
