<p>I'm using arachni and it performs great (thanks). But sometimes, it performs too great :)<br>
It launches so many HTTP requests in parallel that web app is crashing.</p>
<p>Is there a parameter where I could set some values, such as:<br>
-don't do more than 3 request /second or<br>
-wait at least xxx milliseconds between each requests</p>
<p>I know that those values will increase the scan time a lot, but it's a tradeoff when web app are under load and/or badly coded</p></div>paultag:support.arachni-scanner.com,2012-07-01:Comment/422848142017-04-03T12:44:41Z2017-04-03T12:44:41ZHaving a timer for lowering HTTP requests?<div><p>First, I'd suggest lowering the <a href="https://github.com/Arachni/arachni/wiki/Command-line-user-interface#http-request-concurrency">HTTP request concurrency</a>, if that doesn't do it then you can use the <code>rate_limiter</code> plugin</p></div>Tasos Laskos
