Caido

Guest Mode ​

Caido can be used without an account by selecting the Continue as guest option in the authentication prompt.

DANGER

In guest mode, anyone can access your instance without authentication. For example, binding to 0.0.0.0 would grant unauthorized access to anyone on the same network, exposing your device to remote code execution.

Caido CLI ​

By default, guest mode is disabled for the Caido CLI. To enable guest mode with the Caido CLI, launch Caido with the --allow-guests argument.

Guest Mode Limitations ​

In contrast to an authenticated session, in guest mode:

  • Projects are not saved.
  • All user settings are shared across all guests.
  • Only a single plugin can be installed at a time.

INFO

Shared guest mode settings are not shared with your account. This includes plugin component configurations. For instance, you will have to manually enable/disable the frontend/backend components.

TIP

Register an account and use an authenticated session to gain the ability to save two projects and install up to three plugins.
