This section explains how to customize web application scans to meet your specific testing requirements. You can customize the following aspects of your scan:

• The scan scope and configuration.

• Authentication for your web application. Burp Scanner can authenticate with user credentials or a recorded login sequence. You can create login sequences manually or use AI to generate them for you. Adding authentication details helps Burp Scanner discover and audit content that is only accessible to authenticated users.

• The resource pool in which the scan will be run.
