Network Traffic Control

Fumito | Last updated: Oct 12, 2018 05:49AM UTC

Hi Support Center Members, We want to control the Network traffic(is caused by Burp) while we are conducting the "Scanner." Is there any function to control the Network traffic or use case(outside the function)? And are there any white papers that are written about network traffic that occurs during penetration testing? Thanks and Best Regards, Mito

You can control the traffic from within Burp using Resource Pools. You select a resource pool when you set up a scan. It lets you limit the number of concurrent requests and delay between requests. If you need more advanced traffic control (e.g. max bandwidth) you will need to user an external tool to do this. I expect there many whitepapers on this topic which you can find online.
