Incorporate Pause and Resume Functions

[m1j09830]

💡 Summary

Incorporate the ability to pause and resume scans.

Motivation and context

Currently the MESA toolkit does not have the ability to pause and resume scans once they have been started. You can start and stop the scans however stopping the scans will require starting over from the beginning. This can be a time sink when dealigning with larger networks. By incorporating the ability to pause and resume scans, operators will be able to pause running scans overnight or when prompted to by the customer.

Implementation notes

Not all functions will need to be paused initially. Ideally, the functions that are most intrusive should be focused on first including:

• Default Login Check
• Vulnerability Scans
• Full Port Scan

Acceptance criteria

How do we know when this work is done?

• Default Login Check has an additional button for pausing and resuming
• Vulnerability Scans has an additional button for pausing and resuming
• Full Port Scan has an additional button for pausing and resuming
