Alternative of Spider and Scanner Tab in BurpSuite

Hi, In today's version of Burp, what are the alternative tabs that cover the functionality of the old tabs of Burp i.e. Spider and Scanner?

Hi Zohaib, If you are using Burp Professional, the main method to initiate a scan (either a full crawl and audit scan or simply a crawl) is via the 'New scan' button on the Dashboard tab of Burp. You can find out more information with regards to why we made this change, below: https://portswigger.net/blog/burp-2-0-where-are-the-spider-and-scanner Our documentation on how to perform scanning in Burp Professional is below - this details some other methods of initiating scans that are available (including carrying out instant active and passive scanning via the context menus): https://portswigger.net/burp/documentation/desktop/scanning
