The count of requests created by Active Scan

fa1ntStar | Last updated: May 27, 2022 04:57AM UTC

Hello I have develop a Active Scan rule，which will send 5 request for a item，and I want to konw the real count of requests。When I test it(Select a item->do Active Scan)，I noticed these： 1. When I call callback.makeHttpRequest(),I print log，there are 5 times called 2. The Dashboard->Tasks->Active Scans->View details->Audit items shows the count of requests is 5 3. I try to set upstreamProxy and proxy traffic to the another burp server and find the real count requests is 5 4. The Dashboard->Tasks->Active Scans Panel shows the count of requests is 10（why?） It seems the real count of requests is n，but why Dashboard->Tasks->Active Scans Panel shows the count of requests is 2*n?

Hi, thanks for your message. Is there a redirection occurring? Are you testing a dynamic SPA?
