If you have not performed any audits yet, this view is empty.

The [audit overview](#audits-overview) provides information such as: * when an audit was performed and how long it took. * which severity levels were identified. * which target systems were assessed by the penetration test, based on which audit definition, and using which Hacktor. You can also [start a penetration testing audit](#start-pentesting-audit). *** ## Navigation Click the **Text Search** field above the list and enter a search term of your choice to find specific list items more quickly.

The following states can be shown: Error: The penetration test could not be started or an error occurred while it was running. Failed: The penetration test was not completed successfully. Finished: The penetration test was completed successfully. Processing: The penetration test is currently running. While a penetration test is running, you can track the audit's progress via a red progress bar and additional information, including the target that is currently being scanned, the check that is currently being performed, the scan progress as a percentage, and the elapsed time. Click an audit name to navigate to the audit detail view.
Severity Levels	Shows the number of vulnerabilities that were found during the audit, grouped by severity. The severity levels are color-coded according to their criticality. If no results were found for a severity, the corresponding field is grayed out. The following severity levels are shown: Critical: The vulnerabilities found have a very high criticality. High: The vulnerabilities found have a high criticality. Medium: The vulnerabilities found have a medium criticality. Low: The vulnerabilities found have a low criticality.
