Usage Statistics

Core Impact can gather statistics about how the application is used and will report the information to Core Security for analysis. Conclusions drawn from the data will be used to provide you with industry statistics as well as to improve Core Impact in future releases. Before Core Impact transmits any usage information, the data is made anonymous (stripped of any identifying data) and encrypted. You can view your statistics by performing the following steps:

  1. Open a Core Impact workspace.

  2. On the toolbar select Tools \ Usage Data \ View Local.

    The View Local Stats window displays.

  3. Set the ALL WORKSPACES parameter according to your preference.

    NO: Shows statistics for current workspace only.

    YES: Shows statistics for all workspaces.

  4. Click the OK button.

    View the Module Log tab to monitor the module's progress. View the Module Output tab to view the statistics.
