Scanning abandoned due to too many errors (0% complete)

Aravind | Last updated: Jun 21, 2018 10:26AM UTC

Hi, I am trying to scan and almost all the requests are getting abandoned due to errors and when checked in Alerts tabs it says "Timeout in transmission from xyz.com". Initially my application was accessible,and after getting error i cant access my application. i tried by enabling throttling. What is missing here?

Hi Aravind, It sounds like you have been blocked by a web application firewall or other security device. If you can, speak to the administrators of the application you are testing and ask for your IP address to be added to a white list that will not be blocked. If that's not possible, testing the application will be difficult. I would recommend focusing on manual testing rather than using Burp Scanner. There are also some extensions in the BApp Store that can help with WAF evasion.
