How to stop discovering content or running a miner?

Antonin | Last updated: Jun 22, 2024 11:26AM UTC

Hi, I use the Discovery Content feature in Burp Pro. I also use extensions like Param Miner. However, I am unable to find a way to stop any gracefully. For extensions, I can unload them from the Extensions tab. It's not very user-friendly but it works.... For built-in functionalities like "Discovery Content" the only way I can think of it shutting down Burp and re-opening it again, which is a gigantic pain in the arse. Am I missing something here?

Hey. Im a dofus, the window for "Discovering Content" was hidden in the background. Mea culpa. However, for the Param Miner stuff, or any extension for that matter, my question stands. Thank you!

Thanks for the update. For extensions, it will very much depend on how the extension author has written the extension, some may include additiona tabs in the UI which allow you to start and stop the functionality, others may just complete the task they have been assigned once it has started unless the extension is unloaded.
