Whoops!: Or we are paid to be researchers not QA professionals
Topic: Miscellaneous 1:23 am EDT, Jun 27, 2008

I LOL'd when Matt told me about this... Those people that complained about the limit... This is for you. I recall someone on the webappsec mailing list saying when they tried to scan their site it stopped due to "the limit". Wow they must have a big site ;)

Start at bottom for maximum effect...

Stivo! you crazy! Change-set 27173. 6/21 @ 6:37pm in SimpleUrlCrawler.cs 

I guess the build-box is building with the debug symbols in it?

So the crawl limit is 2.1 billion right now  2^31-1

Whoops! Here:

private void buildCrawlLimit()
{
crawlLimit = 1500;
#if DEBUG
crawlLimit = int.MaxValue;
#endif
}

Pretty sure the Labs build box is pumping out debug builds...

... ... STFU! Are you telling me the limit most people are bitching about doesn’t even exist? Haha, Should we even patch that?

Haha… scrawlr may not have a limit…

I just set a break point in the function that checks it and it never gets called… apparently it got lost somehow…

Nah, just a lot of parameters. We will only crawl 1500 pages, but we will audit more.

Guys,

I noticed a Chinese site offer Scrawlr for download. Its classic ASP so I decide to scan it with Scrawlr.

Site is: [Site Removed]

The only thing is, Scrawlr is saying it has visited 3879 pages so far and is still going. Perhaps a bug in our limiting?
