How do i SAVE the ongoing Scan?

Arkar | Last updated: Feb 26, 2018 10:44AM UTC

Hi all, I've noticed the Burpsuite is discouraging the usage of the "Legacy State" files. But then when i tried to use "Project State" files instead, my previously ONGOING scan states aren't resumed anymore. In fact the whole thing becomes empty. What is the best advised way to SAVE the current ongoing state of the scan please? Thanks all. Regards, Arkar

The scan queue should be paused when Burp loads of file, this is a default setting. Just to clarify, when you say "the whole thing becomes empty", are you referring to the scan queue? Are you able to reproduce this issue consistently? The best way to save your work is using Burp Projects, data is saved incrementally into the file as you work. There is no need to specifically "save" your work when you are finished.
