Your First Analysis

This guide walks you through running your first code security analysis with Clipron AI. We’ll cover all the options and help you understand the results.

Before You Start

Make sure you have:
  • ✅ Created and verified your Clipron AI account
  • ✅ Logged into your dashboard
  • ✅ Have some code ready to analyze (repository, files, or snippets)

Starting a New Analysis

From Your Dashboard

1

Access Dashboard

Log into clipron.com and navigate to your main dashboard
2

Click New Analysis

Click the prominent “New Analysis” button in the center of your dashboard
3

Choose Analysis Method

Select how you want to provide your code for analysis

Code Input Methods

Method 1: GitHub Repository

Best for: Open source projects, public code
  1. Select “GitHub Repository” tab
  2. Enter the repository URL (e.g., https://github.com/user/repo)
  3. Choose branch (defaults to main/master)
  4. Select specific directories if needed
  5. Click “Load Repository”

Method 2: Direct Code Paste

Best for: Code snippets, specific functions, quick tests
1

Select Paste Code

Click the “Paste Code” tab in the analysis interface
2

Choose Language

Select your programming language from the dropdown for proper syntax highlighting
3

Paste Your Code

Copy and paste your code into the editor. The interface supports:
  • Syntax highlighting for 50+ languages
  • Line numbers for easy reference
  • Code folding for large snippets
4

Add Context (Optional)

Provide additional context about the code’s purpose or specific concerns

Method 3: File Upload

Best for: Local files, multiple files, compressed archives
  • Click “Choose File” button
  • Select your code file (supports most programming languages)
  • Maximum file size: 10MB
  • Supported formats: .py, .js, .java, .cpp, .cs, .php, .rb, .go, etc.
  • Use Ctrl/Cmd+Click to select multiple files
  • Or drag and drop multiple files into the upload area
  • Files are analyzed as a cohesive project
  • Upload ZIP, TAR, or RAR archives
  • Automatically extracts and analyzes all code files
  • Maintains directory structure for context
  • Maximum archive size: 50MB

Selecting Analysis Type

Analysis Configuration

Advanced Options

Specify what to prioritize:
  • Security vulnerabilities: SQL injection, XSS, etc.
  • Authentication issues: Login, session management
  • Data handling: Input validation, sanitization
  • Cryptography: Encryption, hashing, key management
Check against specific standards:
  • OWASP Top 10: Web application security
  • CWE: Common Weakness Enumeration
  • SANS Top 25: Most dangerous software errors
  • Custom rules: Your organization’s standards
Skip certain files or patterns:
  • Test files (usually safe to exclude)
  • Third-party libraries
  • Generated code
  • Documentation files

Running the Analysis

1

Review Settings

Double-check your code input, analysis type, and configuration options
2

Check Credit Cost

Review the estimated credit cost displayed at the bottom of the form
3

Start Analysis

Click “Start Security Analysis” to begin the process
4

Monitor Progress

Watch the progress bar and status updates as your code is analyzed

Understanding the Progress

During analysis, you’ll see:
  1. Preprocessing (10-20%): Code is parsed and prepared
  2. AI Analysis (20-80%): Ron Cortex engine examines your code
  3. Report Generation (80-100%): Results are compiled and formatted
Don’t close your browser during analysis. While the process continues server-side, you’ll need to refresh to see results.

What Happens Next

Once analysis completes:
  • Instant notification: Browser notification when ready
  • Email alert: Optional email with results summary
  • Dashboard update: Analysis appears in your history
  • Detailed report: Full security report with findings

Sample First Analysis

Here’s what a typical first analysis might look like:
{
  "analysis_id": "first-analysis-123",
  "timestamp": "2024-06-18T10:30:00Z",
  "code_source": "paste",
  "analysis_type": "mini",
  "credits_used": 3,
  "security_score": 78,
  "total_issues": 5,
  "breakdown": {
    "critical": 0,
    "high": 1,
    "medium": 2,
    "low": 2
  },
  "top_issues": [
    {
      "type": "Input Validation",
      "severity": "high",
      "line": 42,
      "description": "User input not sanitized before database query"
    }
  ]
}

Next Steps After Your First Analysis

Tips for Better Results

Include context: Add comments explaining complex logic or business rules to help the AI understand your code better.
Start small: Begin with smaller code samples to understand how Clipron AI works before analyzing entire projects.
Regular analysis: Run security analysis regularly, not just before releases, to catch issues early.
