I dont understand why Zap freezes whenever i use it on a target site. It works for a short while and once i go deeper into a site it starts to give me issues. I am only working in standard form not attack form at all what could be the reasons behind this problem i have with Zap.

Thank you for any input.

Provide a thread dump when it freezes.

kill -3 <zap-pid>
or if Windows: Ctrl + Print Screen

It will be shown in the output (use the bat file on Windows).

Best regards.

We need a Java Thread Dump in order to understand why ZAP is freezing for you.

If you are running ZAP in Linux / MacOS then you can generate this using "kill -3 <zap-pid>" Where "<zap-pid>" is the Process Id of the ZAP process.

If you ae running ZAP on Windows then start ZAP using the zap.bat file and generate a thread dump by using the Ctrl + Print Screen buttons.

In either case only do this when ZAP has frozen for you.

You should get the thread dump output to the terminal - we need you to give that to us, eg on this thread.

Does that make more sense?

Cheers,

Simon
