There is "thorough scan" option in OpenVAS which could run w3af in
full_audit mode without timeouts set. As I don't like timeouts in sense
of time. Is there any "sane" default for normal scan in terms of items
scanned or something like that which you would recommend? i.e. scanning
only 3 levels deep on web servers, scanning only first 1000 URls found
or something like that?

Nice thing is that actually, the script will run itself on all www ports
itself without any additional logic (i.e. if web ports are found on port
80,443,8080 and 8000 = the script would run on all of them). That
reminded me to fix the bug in filename generation - Thanks! :-)
