Can't stop some extensions!

Some extension like HTTP Request Smuggler need to be unloaded/loaded to stop running.. It would be interesting to have an "easy" way to stop a extension that not implemented a "stop/kill" feature. thanks.

Hi This sounds like functionality that the extension author would need to put in. To make a feature request to an author, you would need to raise an issue on their original repository. For HTTP Request Smuggler, you can find that here: https://github.com/PortSwigger/http-request-smuggler/issues The majority of extensions are forked from the original author's repository. There is a link to our fork of the author's repo in the BApp description. Alternatively, the extension "Distribute Damage" has a global traffic pause in it, so if you were interested in temporarily pausing all traffic in Burp, you could use this. Please bear in mind that Distribute Damage also contains a throttle, so if you do not adjust this then your requests will be a lot slower.
