Guest Mode

WARNING

In Guest mode, anybody can access your instance without authentication. This means that binding to 0.0.0.0 would, for example, allow anybody on the same network as you to use it and have full RCE on your machine.

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

Guest Mode is enabled by default in the desktop application via the Allow guests option within the Advanced dropdown selection in your Instance settings.

Guest Mode is disabled by default in the Caido CLI, and must be explicitly enabled with the use of the --allow-guests option.

Guest Mode Limitations

When using Caido in Guest Mode, there are certain limitations compared to an authenticated session:

• No Projects are saved.
• All user settings are shared between all guests such as: Custom Developer Settings, HTTPQL queries, and layout customization.

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.

• You are limited to a single plugin.

TIP

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