Is there a way to slow down Arachni so it doesn't cause DDoS on target websites? I ran it against a local VM running older version of WordPress and ended up with out of memory on the target VM. Is it the crawler that's causing large amount of traffic?

P.S. I love this product. You guys did a great job :)

    Yep, these are the performance related options: http://support.arachni-scanner.com/kb/general-use/optimizing-for-fa...

    Follow this guide and you should be OK, it'll tell you how to make Arachni less aggressive and also how to give it some more info in order to reduce the overall workload.

    Thanks for the kind words btw.

    Cheers
