Using API to run scan against a target

Prashant | Last updated: Dec 02, 2020 11:05PM UTC

Hi, Im trying to run a scan against a test target. First time i scan, everything is ok. But the second time i scan it, it does not show results. If i run a scan against a different target and again run against first target, results show up again. Is there a setting that allows consecutive runs to show results? Thanks.

Hi Prashant, If you are using Burp Professional, this is expected behavior due to the nature of issue aggregation. If new issues are found in the second scan, they will be reported but issues found in your previous scan on the same site will not be reported unless you open a new project file. Burp Enterprise is specifically designed for this and is useful for comparing scan deltas. Have you checked this out?
