Cannot actively scan a single URL

Albert | Last updated: May 18, 2016 02:37PM UTC

I have a URL which is indicating a CSRF issue. When I attempt to select the URL and perform an active scan of the branch, I receive the following messages from the command window: D:\Tools>java -jar -Xmx2G burpsuite_pro_v1.7.03.jar burp.wje at burp.zre.a(Unknown Source) at burp.qvh.a(Unknown Source) at burp.p5c.a(Unknown Source) at burp.ghf.run(Unknown Source) at java.lang.Thread.run(Unknown Source) burp.wje at burp.zre.a(Unknown Source) at burp.qvh.a(Unknown Source) at burp.p5c.a(Unknown Source) at burp.ghf.run(Unknown Source) at java.lang.Thread.run(Unknown Source)

This error is occurring because Burp is unable to write new data to your disk-based project file. In this situation, you should see an alert to that effect in the Burp alerts tab - did this happen? The underlying cause might be that you are out of disk space, or that the project file has become inaccessible for some OS-level reason. If you close Burp, resolve the file-level problem, and reopen the project, you should be able to continue working as usual.

Yes, I see the Alert. I have restarted Burp, and again get the same result. BTW, the Project file is located on a NAS device.

So this is a file-level problem and Burp is not able to access the file in the way it needs to. It could be lack of space, or a limitation on the file size supported by the NAS, or some other issue. Is the project file very large? If you copy the file to your local filesystem, is Burp able to work with it?

Interesting concept. I copied the file from the NAS to a Local Hard disk. After restarting Burp, I get the same message in the project. Is there a way to update the project to the current folder?
