Dirbuster and Java

« on: October 19, 2010, 11:50:14 PM »

I am running an attack using Dirbuster and Backtrack 4 R1

After a while I get this:

Exception in thread "Thread-45" java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: Java heap space

I added more memory to the virtual machine but still I get the error, any idea how to make the chance, I saw many places in gloogle but not specific with this kind of problem

Thanks.

This might help:

cd /pentest/web/dirbuster

java -jar Xmx256m Dirbuster-0.12.jar

The example above assigns 256 MB of memory to the Dirbuster jar file

Yes, typed

java -Xmx900m -jar Dirbuster-0.12.jar

and got the same problem, sure the machine got more information than before but stop there.

I will try to scan only for directories and later each directory for files and we will see.
