This is not by design, it should be a bug. Which version are you using? If it's not threading2, could you test it there using the console UI? (GUI is broken in threading2 at the moment). These steps might be useful for you to debug: git clone git://github.com/andresriancho/w3af.git cd w3af git checkout -b theading2 ./w3af_console -p full_audit target set target http://192.168.2.5:80/ start exit ./w3af_console -p full_audit target set target http://192.168.2.5/ start exit I remember a similar problem being reported a while ago, I think I fixed it in threading2, but it's never bad to double check.
