How do I specify the timeout of the requests at scanner?

Asuka | Last updated: Feb 04, 2021 02:51AM UTC

On the scanner tool, I want to skip the request that's waiting over 10sec for the response. I tried to specify the timeout at "Project options > Connections > Timeouts". However, it looks not be applied at the requests via scanner. Could you teach me how to cope with it?

Hi Asuka, Are you trying to change the timeout during the crawl? Or the audit?

Thank you for replying. I restarted the BurpSuite and created a new scanner after I changed the timeout. However, the situation didn't change. Please teach me if there is anything I should try.

Can you please email support@portswigger.net with the information below? - A screenshot of the settings you have under Project options > Connections > Timeouts - Where is the response blocking? - Scan configuration you are using Some scan checks essentially override the settings you have set in Timeouts. It depends if the scan check wants a timeout, in which case the one set in the scan check will be used. If not, the one under Timeouts will be used.
