Options Passive Scanner screen

This screen allows you to configure the passive scanner.

Configuration Options

Field	Details	Default	Config File
Only scan messages in scope	Sets whether or not the passive scan should be performed only on messages that are in scope.	Deselected	Key: `pscans.scanOnlyInScope` Values: `true` or `false`
Include traffic from the Fuzzer when passive scanning	Sets whether or not the passive scanning should be performed on messages generated by the Fuzzer.	Deselected	Key: `pscans.scanFuzzerMessages` Values: `true` or `false`
Max alerts any rule can raise	Sets the maximum number of alerts a passive scan rule should raise. This may be slightly exceeded due to threading. This setting is typically only useful for automated scanning. Scan rules that exceed this value will be disabled and will need to be manually enabled if a new session is started.	0 (unset)	Key: `pscans.maxAlertsPerRule` Values: `0`: unset or the maximum number of alerts
Max body size in bytes to scan	Sets the maximum size request or response body size in bytes that the passive scanner will scan. This can be used if passive scan rules take too long scanning very large requests or responses. If set the number of ignored requests and responses are recorded in the stats using the keys `stats.pscan.reqBodyTooBig` and `stats.pscan.respBodyTooBig` respectively.	0 (unset)	Key: `pscans.maxBodySizeInBytes` Values: `0`: unset or the maximum body size in bytes
Clear Queue	Empties the passive scan queue without passively scanning the messages. Currently running rules will run to completion but new rules will only be run when new messages are added to the queue.
