Pentagrid Scan Controller
Summary: PortSwigger's BApp Store lists Pentagrid Scan Controller, a Burp Suite extension by Tobias 'floyd' Ospelt (version 0.2, last updated 13 June 2025) that filters and preprocesses requests for active scanning by assessing repeatability and injecting Hackvertor tags when needed. The extension aims to reduce unnecessary scans of static files and non-repeatable requests, shows the reasoning behind each decision so users can adjust behavior, and requires the Hackvertor extension to be installed and active.
What you should know: The tool's value rests on a third-party dependency: PortSwigger states that extensions are written by third-party users of Burp and that it makes no warranty about their quality or usefulness, so the scan-filtering logic your team relies on sits outside the vendor's guarantees.
