Intruder scan auto stop or pause option

Arav | Last updated: May 24, 2022 10:00PM UTC

Hi I was not able to find any option which will stop or pause the intruder scan after N number of failed requests. There is one option to pause the Burpsuite's Audit for such case but not for intruder. Sometimes while using proxy for burpsuite, the proxy connection fails and makes the intruder fail. Also, sometimes when application is under load or blocks the requests, the intruder scan goes on and fails to make requests. Please suggest if there is any such option available for my case. Thank you

Hi I'm sorry, there is no built-in or easy method for this. If you're confident in Java, Python, or Ruby, it may be possible to achieve this using the Extender API - although it may be a fair bit of work to get this working, and will probably be subject to some limitations. If you'd like some more details on how you may be able to get this working with the Extender API, then please let me know.

Thank you for the response. I am sorry but writing code is something i am not capable of so i would not go that route.

Hi I've raised a feature request for this functionality for you! Unfortunately, we cannot provide an ETA for when this functionality will be implemented.
