Regarding scan options in the tool

Gangambika | Last updated: May 17, 2021 03:11PM UTC

Hi I am new to Burp suite . I had a query regarding the scan options provided in the tool I see that there are options like 'New live task' and 'New scan' . 1 . What is the importance of live scan ? How different it is from the 'scan' option . 2 . Does live scan continues until we actually stop capturing the requests ? 3 . What is active scan ? How different it is from 'scan' (I see that there are more issues detected from 'active scan' than from the 'scan') Thanks Gangambika
