Scan manual insertion point
Summary: A Burp Suite extension by Clément Notin, version 0.1 and last updated 24 May 2017, lets a user select a region of a request, typically a parameter value, and run an active scan of just that insertion point from the context menu. PortSwigger describes it as similar to the Intruder's "actively scan defined insertion points" feature without having to send the request to the Intruder.
What's compelling: The extension is third-party code that PortSwigger explicitly does not warrant for quality or usefulness, and it has sat unupdated since 2017 while still being installed into the same Burp instance that holds your test traffic and target credentials.
