I'm trying to do active scanning on my current test but I've got a problem that the login session occasionally dies for no apparent reason and when it does this in the middle of a scan the results from that point on are redundant. It would be good to be able to watch the requests and responses to see if the session dies so I can pause it and reauthenticate. I can't use a macro to do the auth as it is 2FA via SMS. This would also be useful on sites where one of the tests triggers a crash in the site so I can figure out which one it was. I've got round it in the past by running the scanning Burp through a second Burp on another box but that isn't ideal.
