Increase scanning speed

[mahdihp]

How can I increase scanning speed
Or make it 50 times faster
What should I do to increase scanning speed?

Hi there @mahdihp - thanks for your question!

First, could you let us know what kind of scan you're running? Any screenshots you can provide would be really helpful here. I'm wondering if unnecessary templates are being loaded which would be slowing you down.

But we can double check once we have more details!

thanks for your Answer.
for example with app

It takes more than 10 minutes to scan.

@mahdihp You can speed up scans on a single machine using tuning options listed here: https://docs.projectdiscovery.io/tools/nuclei/mass-scanning-cli.
However, beyond a certain point, horizontal scaling is the only way to reduce scan time i.e., distributing scans across multiple machines. Tools like https://github.com/attacksurge/ax can help with that, and we handle this natively on our cloud platform for companies: https://cloud.projectdiscovery.io/

thanks for your Answer.
for example with app

package main
import (
	"context"
	"fmt"
	"github.com/projectdiscovery/nuclei/v3/pkg/output"

	nuclei "github.com/projectdiscovery/nuclei/v3/lib"
)

func main() {
	ne, err := nuclei.NewNucleiEngineCtx(context.Background(),
		nuclei.WithTemplateFilters(nuclei.TemplateFilters{Tags: []string{"oast"}}),
		nuclei.EnableStatsWithOpts(nuclei.StatsOptions{MetricServerPort: 6064}), // optionally enable metrics server for better observability
	)
	if err != nil {
		panic(err)
	}
	// load targets and optionally probe non http/https targets
	ne.LoadTargets([]string{"https://www.google.com"}, false)
	err = ne.ExecuteWithCallback(func(event *output.ResultEvent) {
		fmt.Printf("Log---: %+v\n", event)
	})
	if err != nil {
		panic(err)
	}
	defer ne.Close()
}
