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.

Have you tried running Dirbuster in headless mode and see if it makes any difference?

java -jar Dirbuster-0.12.jar -H http://www.foo.com
