Saving attacks - Port Swigger
Summary: PortSwigger's Burp Intruder does not save attacks by default because they can produce large project files, and in Burp Suite Professional the results window's top-level Save menu can write out the results table as a text file, the attack configuration as a file, or a complete copy of configuration and results to a disk-based project file. Intruder attacks can no longer be saved to state files, though legacy state files can still be loaded via Open saved attack in the Intruder menu, and closing a results window mid-attack prompts the user to choose how to handle it.
What's compelling: Because attacks are not persisted by default, a tester who shuts down Burp Suite while an attack is running can lose requests that were never sent, leaving gaps in the results table.
