Crawling Stuck - v2.0.12beta

Jonathan | Last updated: Nov 21, 2018 11:00PM UTC

Hi, the crawler hangs on "Locating authenticated functionality" and doesn't seem to be progressing. Also, how do I limit the crawler from trying to login with multiple agents? Currently it seems to be logging in 4 times.

Although the crawler normally employs multiple crawler agents in parallel, some applications prohibit concurrent login by the same user. Burp is able to detect this behavior, and will only perform a single concurrent login for each distinct user account: - https://portswigger.net/blog/crawling-with-multiple-logins Are the multiple log ins causing an issue? How many cores does your system have? Would it be possible to turn on the logging for the crawler and send us the results?
