How can I trigger an active scan for specific host from cmd

Bhaskar | Last updated: Jul 12, 2021 05:23AM UTC

Hi Team, I am trying to find the way to trigger an active scan for a specific host from command line /any automated way. I came across carborator but it is doing crawl and audit, so I am loosing the credentials sent via headers. Is there any extender to trigger an active programmatically like the way we are doing right click -> actively scan the host from UI. Thanks, Bhaskar.

Hi Bhaskar

Have you checked out the Extender API?

It looks like IBurpExtenderCallbacks.doActiveScan() fits your requirements.
