Re: AppScan and IDS evasion

You could slow down the testing. Don't launch a full bore scan, pick
one or two tests at a time. If you're looking for XSS or SQL injection,
only use those tests. AppScan and any other web scanner is REALLY noisy.

If you can grab another IP from your provider I'd attack it that way.

Cheers!
