[W3af-users] Blocked scan & error database

[Miguel Á. M. M. <mig...@ho...>]

Hallo!,

I am a beginner user regarding W3af. I am scanning several external web pages with the following configuration:

profile: full_audit / OWASP_TOP10
max_requests_per_second: 2

1. The scan of a specific web page takes a lot to finish and in the end, this error happens:

Database disk image is malformed

As a result, the html report has no content.

2. The scan of another web page finishes very quickly (it takes less than a minute), but I am afraid that it's being blocked.

**IMPORTANT** The following error was detected by w3af and couldn't be resolved: w3af found too many consecutive errors while performing HTTP requests. In most cases this means that the remote web server is not reachable anymore, the network is down, or a WAF is blocking our tests. The last error message was "HTTP timeout error after 10.0 seconds."

How can I try to evade the system that is blocking the test?

Thanks & regards.
