ThreatExploit Studio is your central command center for managing and monitoring penetration tests. This guide provides an overview of the dashboard layout, console tabs, status indicators, and available management tools so you can navigate your workspace with confidence.
Studio Layout Overview
The Studio interface is divided into three main areas: the Side Panel for navigation and target selection, the Center Workspace for active tasks and console output, and the Footer for system status.

The left side of your screen is dedicated to managing your infrastructure and active operations.
Servers List: Select and manage the active servers you are connected to. You can add new servers directly from this menu.
Pentest Targets: View a list of all current and historical pentests.
Click the Refresh icon (
↻) to update the list.Select any pentest to view its details.
Use the Stop button to immediately halt an active pentest.
Connection Status: A real-time indicator showing whether your selected server is running and if the agent is successfully connected.
If your Connection Status shows "Agent Disconnected" or "Server Not Running," you will not be able to execute new commands or receive live console output.
The Center Workspace
The center panel is where the actual work happens. It uses a tabbed interface so you can multitask and monitor different aspects of your operations simultaneously.
| Tab Type | Description | Key Features |
|---|---|---|
| Overview | A high-level summary of the selected pentest. | View target details, open the Executive Report, or export results as a PDF. |
| Results | A file-explorer view of the data generated during the test. | Browse raw data, logs, and artifacts collected by the agent. |
| Console | The live terminal interface for the active pentest. | Interact directly via the Console Input, view real-time Console Output, and toggle auto-scrolling. |
You can open new tabs, close existing ones, and clear the console output at any time without affecting the underlying pentest process.
