Burp Enterprise Scan Failed

Eve | Last updated: Sep 22, 2019 07:41AM UTC

The burp enterprise scan sometimes results in failed scan. The two of the most common errors : 1. Lost communication with BurpSuite 2. 10 consecutive audit items have failed What's the troubleshooting and problem detecting process if it happens? For the second one adding options : never stop crawl and audit due to network can mark the scan as completed but ideally it doesn't complete. How can we avoid failed scans from our side , considering the web app we're scanning isn't at fault? where to look at for troubleshooting. I'm more focused on the troubleshooting part and knowing why that happens. Thanks

The log files: By default these are in C:\ProgramData\BurpSuiteEnterpriseEdition on Windows and /var/log/BurpSuiteEnterpriseEdition/ on Linux.

I have the same issue with my first scan. Everything running on one machine. Enterprise 1.1.03 Scanner 2.1.04 I want the scan to continue. possible skipping the audit items that failed. I am not sure if this i a summary at the end or if scanning is really aborted. Scan details Status: Failed Start time: Yesterday, at 2:00PM End time: Yesterday, at 6:31PM Duration: 4h 30m Problem: 10 consecutive audit items have failed. Requests made: 187396 Network errors: 3057 Number of locations: 932

It looks like the scan has failed due to 10 consecutive audit items failing. There is a scan configuration within Burp Enterprise called “Never stop audit due to application errors” this should prevent the default consecutive error failure from occurring.
