Just a warning for anyone plugging their app in here, after looking at my server logs, this service can hit your app pretty hard. It sent over 10,000 requests to my app with no apparent throttling rate. If you're like us, and you're not running big iron, be careful about when you execute this.
We run a similar service, though we've been around for just over a year now, and we actually allow you to customize the maximum request rate at which we'll hit your site (in real time). Feel free to give us a try at https://www.tinfoilsecurity.com
hey Brad, I responded on TC but we built the scanner to rate limit our requests significantly if it starts to slow down your site. I'm going to investigate this and apologize for any trouble it caused if your site slowed down and we didn't rate limit
We saw the same thing...
