==- What does "invalid CIDR" mean?
An invalid CIDR means there are nonzero bits to the right of the netmask of the CIDR range. For
example, 192.168.0.1/24 is invalid because the netmask is `11111111.11111111.11111111.00000000` but the
binary representation of that IP address is `11000000.10101000.00000000.00000001`.

In some cases a range like `/31` is meant to denote "this address and the one after it", however that is not
RFC compliant. That difference is why these addresses are not corrected automatically, as it may result in
incorrect IP addresses being added.

==- Numbers on my dashboard don't match numbers on my grids
Numbers presented on dashboards, e.g. "Live IPs", represent a daily max. It's possible an IP was live earlier
today, but became unavailable at some point. This IP would be shown as not live in the grids, but would be
included in the daily "Live IPs" count.

==- What IP addresses will scanning traffic originate from?
Please select [allowlist](/legacy/easm/help/denylists/#allow-lists-for-easm) to access.

In addition to IP address, HTTP scanning traffic can be identified by the presence of one or both of the
following headers:

 - `X-NetSPI-EASM: help@netspi.com`
 - `User-Agent: NetSPI EASM (help@netspi.com)`
