<p>I have a simple question about arachni, I would like to know if
there are some risks using it, I mean, to create a DDOS is possible
scaning a web site?</p>
<p>I would like to use it in several applications of my company,
but I don't want to generate DDOS.</p>
<p>Thanks in advanced.</p></div>Sandratag:support.arachni-scanner.com,2012-07-01:Comment/410288622016-10-19T13:05:43Z2016-10-19T13:05:43ZDDOS<div><p>Hello,</p>
<p>Yes, but the default settings are modest and the system will
throttle itself down if it detects that the server is having
trouble handling the load.</p>
<p>Still, if you want to play it safe, you can configure it to be
less aggressive:<br>

<p>I should mention that you shouldn't scan production sites with
Arachni or any scanner, there's no telling how the webapp will
behave.</p>
