Scanning abandoned due to too many errors

Siddharth | Last updated: Sep 21, 2016 07:46AM UTC

Hi, I am trying to scan and almost all the requests are getting abandoned due to errors and when checked in Alerts tabs it says "Timeout in transmission from xyz.com" What is missing here?

Hi Siddharth Thanks for your message. When you are scanning the application and Burp is producing this alert, can you still access the application manually using your browser? Is the application still responsive?

Yes, I am able to access the application manually without any issues.

It may be that the amount of traffic that the scanner sends is causing this issue. Have you tried throttling the Scanner? You can do this via Scanner > Options > Active Scanning Engine.

Hello, am getting the following error often... 1. While I initiate active scanning , an error is shown at the alerts tab - "Failed[1]to connect abc.com." and sometimes "Failed to connect:443" (as the number get increases) and Another error on scanning phase - "abandoned too many errors" Below are the following methods I have tried to solve : 1. Adding the CA certificate 2. Increasing the throttle, reducing the thread count and increasing the number of retries This happens to all the website I scan... Can anyone Please provide me a solution??
