I’ve updated BurpScan so that it processes scans to BurpSuite each time you select “Y” instead of waiting until the end of the list and processing them all at once. This helps with concerns about running too many scans simultaneously and exhausting system resources.
BurpScan has gained significant traction. If you haven’t tried it yet, explore its capabilities here:
GitHub: https://lnkd.in/gXawdvzt
You Should Know:
1. Installing BurpScan
To get started with BurpScan, clone the repository and install dependencies:
git clone https://github.com/AndrewEades/BurpScan.git cd BurpScan pip install -r requirements.txt
2. Running BurpScan with Controlled Scans
The updated version now processes scans individually when you confirm with “Y”:
python burpscan.py --target example.com --interactive
This prevents resource overload by processing one scan at a time.
3. Key BurpSuite Commands for Integration
- Start BurpSuite in headless mode for automated scanning:
java -jar burpsuite.jar --collaborator-server --config-file=config.json
- Export scan results in XML/HTML:
burpscanner --export=report.xml --format=xml
4. Monitoring System Resources
Use Linux commands to monitor CPU and memory during scans:
top -d 1 -p $(pgrep -d',' -f burpsuite)
Or check network usage:
iftop -i eth0 -P
5. Automating with Bash
Create a script to run BurpScan on multiple targets:
!/bin/bash for target in $(cat targets.txt); do python burpscan.py --target $target --interactive done
What Undercode Say
BurpScan’s update optimizes scan management, reducing system strain while maintaining efficiency. For penetration testers, integrating it with BurpSuite’s automation capabilities enhances workflow. Key takeaways:
– Use `–interactive` for controlled scans.
– Monitor resources with top, htop, or iftop.
– Automate repetitive tasks with Bash/Python.
For advanced users, combining BurpScan with tools like `Nikto` or `Nmap` can further streamline vulnerability assessments:
nmap -sV -p 80,443 example.com | tee nmap_scan.log
Expected Output:
- Efficient, resource-friendly scans.
- Detailed reports in XML/HTML.
- Seamless BurpSuite integration.
