Burp Suite Professional starts fast than slows down to a crawl

Tibério | Last updated: Oct 14, 2023 02:40PM UTC

Hey, I've been using my trial of the Burp Suite Professional, after installing it everything is really fast, the intruder can run trough a lot of attempts really quickly, but after when I try to use it again it gets as slow as the community edition. I tried installing it on another computer and tried the same thing, the intruder was super fast again, and the same thing happened, when I tried to use it again on this different computer it got slow again, why is this happening?

Hi. If you check your "Dashboard > Event log", are there any entries relating to increasing the throttle delay? In your Intruder attack configuration, if you go to "Resource pool" and create a new resource pool with automatic throttling disabled, do you experience the same issue?

Hello! In the logger I haven't found anything related to throttle delay, is it in an specific column? I created a new resource pool and im experiencing the same issue, the only way it's solved is deleting the app and installing again, than to gets fast, put after two or three uses of the intruder it gets slow again and I have to reinstall

Hi Could you try running an attack against our vulnerable test site, ginandjuice.shop, and see if you experience the same issue? If you pause the running attack then play it again, does the original counter speed resume?

I am having the same issue. I worked the steps suggested. I am only able to get the speed up when deleting and reinstalling the app.
