when we scan using burp suite and enter a url so does it scan the whole project or that particular URL. Do we need to add all the URL in that project, for eg https://www.google.co.in/ https://www.google.co.in/imghp?hl=en&authuser=0&ogbl or only entering the 1st URL is fine?

Hi When running a scan (crawl), Burp will use the URL provided in the "URLs to scan" as a starting point to navigate around the site. It will click around and populate data similarly to how a user would. It does this to map out all of the different locations available on the site. You should just need to provide Burp with the first URL, and the Scanner will handle the rest. You can find out more about the Scanner and how it works here: https://portswigger.net/burp/documentation/scanner
