Burp Suite User Pocket Guide

What is Burp Suite?

Burp Suite is a comprehensive platform for performing security testing of web applications. It includes a variety of tools with unique functionalities that work together seamlessly to support the entire testing process, from initial mapping and analysis of an application’s attack surface to finding and exploiting security vulnerabilities.

You Should Know:

1. Setting Up Burp Suite

• Download Burp Suite from the official website.
• Install and launch Burp Suite, then configure your browser to route traffic through Burp’s proxy (usually 127.0.0.1:8080).

2. Key Burp Suite Tools & Commands

• Proxy: Intercept and modify HTTP/S requests.

  Linux: Set proxy via terminal 
  export http_proxy="http://127.0.0.1:8080" 
  export https_proxy="http://127.0.0.1:8080" 
  

• Scanner: Automatically scan for vulnerabilities.

  Start a basic scan via CLI (Burp Pro required) 
  java -jar burpsuite_pro.jar --scan-target=http://example.com 
  

• Repeater: Manipulate and resend requests.
• Intruder: Automate customized attacks (e.g., brute force, fuzzing).

  Example Intruder payload (wordlist attack) 
  hydra -l admin -P /usr/share/wordlists/rockyou.txt example.com http-post-form "/login:username=^USER^&password=^PASS^:Invalid" 
  

3. Practical Steps for Web App Testing

1. Spidering: Crawl the target site to map endpoints.

   Use Burp's "Spider" or CLI tools like wget 
   wget --spider -r -nd -nv http://example.com 
   

2. Intercepting Login Requests:

• Capture a login request in Burp Proxy.
• Modify parameters (e.g., `admin:password` → admin' OR 1=1--).

3. Exploiting SQLi/XSS:

 SQLi test (via curl) 
curl -X POST http://example.com/login --data "user=admin'--&pass=any" 

4. Advanced Techniques

• Bypassing WAFs: Use encoding (e.g., URL, Base64) in Burp Repeater.

  Base64 encode a payload 
  echo "admin' OR 1=1--" | base64 
  

• CSRF Exploitation: Generate PoCs via Burp’s “CSRF PoC Generator.”

What Undercode Say:

Burp Suite is indispensable for web app pentesting. Combine it with CLI tools like curl, sqlmap, and `hydra` for maximum efficiency. Always:
– Use legal targets (e.g., HackTheBox, Bug Bounty programs).
– Update Burp Suite regularly for the latest exploits.
– Master manual testing before relying on automation.

Expected Output:

A fully intercepted HTTP request in Burp Proxy, ready for manipulation.
