Intruder: useless popup

Chris | Last updated: Apr 25, 2020 07:56PM UTC

While attacking with Intruder, most of the times we need to change the threads, check the Grep-Match box or many other things in the Options tab. When we do this on the live attack the below annoying popup window appears: "You are editing the live config for a running attack. You should proceed with caution and conciser pausing the attack while you make changes." The only think that this achieves is to make 1 click more which is not efficient if you consider that someone may can do this 100 times per day.

Hi Chris, Is there a reason you do not want to pause the attack prior to changing any of the options? That would be the only way to remove the pop-up.

Your solution is not efficient. There is no need to pause the attack. The best solution would be to just remove the popup.

I will report this to our development team and keep you updated on any progress.
