Distribute Damage
Summary: PortSwigger's BApp Store lists a Burp Suite extension called Distribute Damage, authored by James Kettle, that adds a per-host throttle, a global pause button, and a context menu for triggering scans so Burp spreads load across multiple scanner targets. The listing, version 1.01 and last updated 11 April 2025, notes the extension may also be useful for avoiding detection and requires Java version 8.
Bottom line: The same per-host throttle that keeps scan traffic evenly distributed is described in the listing as a way to avoid detection, so scan volume that looks like load management can also look like evasion to the defenders watching it.
