on the other side, the webapp. The most CPU intensive operation is
the crawl due to the parsing involved.</p>
<p>If the pages are small, with a simple HTML structure, the CPU
will be idling. If the pages are big and complex and the website is
very responsive (resulting in a lot of pages to be analyzed with
little rest between them) then you can easily max out any CPU.</p>
<p>RAM-wise, 512MB should cover you -- although if you plan on
running multiple scans at the same time you need to plan
accordingly.</p>
<p>Generally, Arachni can be deployed in so many different ways
that there isn't a simple rule of thumb. The best way to see what
you need is test it and go from there.</p>
<p>PS. I know this was a horrible answer but it's the best I can
do, sorry.</p></div>Tasos Laskos
