Global UI indicator that Live Active Scanning is enabled

Richard | Last updated: Jul 19, 2016 06:43PM UTC

There have been times that I've opened a project file, or returned to a project and forgot Live Active Scanning is enabled. Since almost every action in burp is very explicit, requiring user interaction. When live active scanning is enabled, the behavior of the application is fundamentally different, and is much more dangerous if the user is not careful. I think this warrants a global UI warning icon or indicator, that live active scanning is enabled or disabled.
