# Scan Configuration

> Configure concurrency, request rate limits, crawler behavior, and user agent headers.

Fine-tune scanner performance to match your application's capacity and prevent unintended denial-of-service.

***

## Core Settings

* **Max Requests Per Second (RPS)**: Throttle scan intensity (default: 25 req/s; configurable from 1 to 500 req/s).
* **Concurrency**: Number of parallel test workers (1 to 32 concurrent threads).
* **Request Timeout**: Maximum milliseconds to wait for server response before retry (default: 5,000 ms).
* **Custom User-Agent**: Set custom header tokens to bypass corporate WAF or identify scan traffic in web server logs:
  ```http theme={null}
  User-Agent: Snapsec-Security-Scanner/2.6 (SecurityAudit; sec-ops@company.com)
  ```
