It looks like you are trying to use Burp Professional headlessly for unattended scanning. The -c parameter does not exist for the JAR. I would recommend running it with --help to see the options that are available (https://portswigger.net/burp/documentation/desktop/getting-started/launching/command-line). Have you looked at the REST API? - https://portswigger.net/blog/burps-new-rest-api Our Enterprise product has been designed specifically for this use-case so I would encourage you to apply for a free 30-day trial: - https://portswigger.net/burp/enterprise/trial

Hi Uthman, Thank you for replying. I am following this link : https://netsoss.github.io/headless-burp/user-guide/burp-extensions/headless-burp-scanner/#usage and it has input as config.xml file. But still the command gets stuck and nothing happens. Could you help on that? Also the REST API doc is very minimal. Do you have any other references for REST API? Thanks
