feat(waf): implement WAF detection earlier to adapt scan intensity #312

@psyray

Description

@psyray

Expected feature

WAF detection is currently implemented at the end in the workflow which is not a good practice because IP could be banned during the Pre-Crawl phase due to the big amount of request

Image

It could be good to move the WAF detection (and also the screenshot phase) earlier in the Workflow

Best is to run WAF dectection task after the Initial task phase, so after sub discovery and OSINT.

Image

This way, and according to the result, we could adapt the threads and delay to run less aggressive crawl, screenshot retrieval and active tasks (dir fuzz, nuclei ...)

Image

Scan will be longer but safer and it should avoid get IP temporarily banned and force running another scan through proxy
