When conducting a vulnerability scan, what should a penetration tester implement to reduce the risk of overloading the target system and potentially avoiding detection by the target's intrusion detection systems?
Query throttling refers to the practice of limiting the number of scan queries sent per second to avoid overloading the target system or triggering defensive measures such as intrusion detection systems. This is a crucial technique for testers to remain stealthy and avoid disrupting the normal operations of the target network.
