On Monday, May 25, 2026, between 5:00 and 7:00 UTC, we'll run a scheduled maintenance window to deploy a database change that improves Findings page performance across the product.

What you won't be able to do during the window

  • Access app.pentest-tools.com. Every page will serve our maintenance page, including pages mid-flow (so if you start a scan, a scan export, or an upgrade right before 5:00 UTC, your next click will land on the maintenance page).
  • Run free scans from our public website. All our tools will be unavailable during maintenance.
  • Use the API. Every request will return HTTP 503 with a Retry-After header that signals when maintenance ends, so any automation you have hitting our API can resume cleanly once we're back up. We still recommend planning around the window where you can.
  • Finish long-running actions that started just before the window. Scan exports won't generate at all (PDF, HTML, CSV, XLSX, JSON). We recommend retrying once maintenance ends - and appreciate your patience with this.
  • Sign up someone new for a Free Edition account. The signup flow runs on app.pentest-tools.com, so it's affected too.

What will happen automatically

  • Running scans that finish during the window will be saved and you'll get your email alerts once we're back up.
  • Scheduled scans set to run during the window will start automatically as soon as maintenance ends, on the same day. (Example: a scan scheduled at 6:00 UTC will start around 7:00 UTC.)

What's still available

  • Documentation, our Offensive Security Research Hub, and our blog.
  • Our YouTube channel and LinkedIn, if you want to follow along.
  • Email support - we'll respond as usual.

Thanks for your patience while we ship this!
