Burp 2.0: Where are the Spider and Scanner?
Summary: PortSwigger said the Spider and Scanner tools no longer appear as top-level tabs in the main Burp window in Burp 2.0, which instead uses a task-based model. Scans are now started through a "New scan" option on the Dashboard tab, which opens a wizard for configuring each scan's settings, and configurations can be saved to a new configuration library.
What you should know: The change lets teams run multiple parallel scans, each with its own settings and independent monitoring and control, which the previous singleton top-level tools did not allow.
