[Xorg] Maximum number of clients reached / Error: cannot open display: :0

Madalin | Last updated: May 30, 2022 07:07AM UTC

Hello guys, I am using BurpSuite Professional : Burp Version 2022.3.9 Build Number 13363 Update Channel Stable Burp Browser Version 102.0.5005.61 Full Diagnostic Log here: https://pastebin.pl/view/37048565 Scanning multiple targets in parallel is triggering an issue with the Xorg server and I cannot open any other graphical application. ____________________________________________ ~/>> google-chrome-stable Maximum number of clients reached [184122:184122:0530/011843.825464:ERROR:ozone_platform_x11.cc(247)] Missing X server or $DISPLAY [184122:184122:0530/011843.825502:ERROR:env.cc(226)] The platform failed to initialize. Exiting. ~/>> firefox Maximum number of clients reached Error: cannot open display: :0 ____________________________________________ I can only run terminal scripts only if the terminal was already opened before the scan was stared. Putting all scans on pause fixes this, but its kind of annoying. Any recommendations to prevent this? Thank you!

Thanks for your message. Can you email support@portswigger.net with a few more details, please? How many scan tasks do you have running when you see this problem? Does the problem always occur when you run the same number of concurrent scans? Do you know what maximum you have set for clients in your X server setup?
