Customize a scan via the Burp Pro API

Stephen | Last updated: Oct 28, 2024 08:07PM UTC

I want to customize a scan, using burp pro API and run it. When I pass switches such as: \"passive_scan_only\": true, \"audit_forms\": false, \"audit_logins\": false, \"crawl_and_audit\": true, \"crawl_limitations\": { \"max_crawl_depth\": 4, \"max_crawl_links\": 100 } } }" it just ignores them.

Hi Stephen, If you would like to use a custom scan config, we advise that you create one in Burp and you can then specify this under scan_configurations> NamedConfiguration in the REST API. Please see these screenshots below: https://snipboard.io/tN5msn.jpg https://snipboard.io/6qg9yX.jpg
