<h3>Improve Automated and Semi-Automated Active Scanning</h3>

Active Scanning might often do things that don't make any sense, such as scanning GET requests to .js files or scanning non-repeatable request.

7
This extension allows to filter and preprocess according to your needs. It tries to check if a request is repeatable or not. If a request is not repeatable, it tries to make them repeatable by injecting Hackvertor tags. The extension doesn't try to be perfect, but useful. It cuts corners and in some cases simply doesn't scan certain requests. However, the extension individually displays and explains all decisions, allowing you to change the settings if you don't like the behavior. It's a better "Actively scan all in-scope traffic through Proxy".
