You Should Know:
1. Setting Up Burp Suite Proxy
To intercept HTTP/S traffic, configure Burp Suite as a proxy:
- Launch Burp Suite and go to the Proxy tab.
- Under Options, add a proxy listener (e.g.,
127.0.0.1:8080). - Configure your browser or system to use this proxy.
Verify Proxy Setup (Linux/Windows):
curl -x http://127.0.0.1:8080 http://testphp.vulnweb.com
### **2. Using Burp Repeater**
Repeater allows manual manipulation and resending of requests:
- Right-click a request in Proxy > HTTP history and Send to Repeater.
- Modify headers/parameters (e.g.,
Cookie: admin=true) and analyze responses.
### **3. Automating Attacks with Intruder**
For brute-force or fuzzing attacks:
1. Send a request to **Intruder**.
2. Define payload positions (e.g., `username=§test§&password=§123§`).
3. Load a wordlist and start the attack:
<h1>Example wordlist generation (Linux):</h1> crunch 6 6 0123456789 -o numlist.txt
### **4. Scanning for Vulnerabilities**
Use Burp Scanner to detect SQLi, XSS, and more:
– Right-click a site in Target > Site map and select Scan.
### **5. Decoding Data with Burp Decoder**
Decode Base64, hashes, or encrypted strings:
<h1>Manual decoding (Linux):</h1> echo "VGhlIHF1aWNrIGJyb3duIGZveA==" | base64 -d
### **6. Extending Burp with BApps**
Install plugins like Logger++ or Turbo Intruder from the BApp Store.
## **What Undercode Say**
Burp Suite is essential for penetration testers and bug bounty hunters. Mastering its tools—Proxy, Repeater, Intruder, and Scanner—can uncover critical vulnerabilities.
**Additional Commands & Tips:**
- Linux Traffic Forwarding:
socat TCP-LISTEN:8080,fork TCP:target.com:80
- Windows Packet Capture:
netsh trace start capture=yes tracefile=C:\trace.etl
- Automating Burp via CLI:
java -jar burpsuite.jar --project-file=project.burp --config-file=config.json
- Bypassing SSL Pinning (Mobile Testing):
adb push burp-cert.der /sdcard/Download/
For deeper exploitation, combine Burp with tools like sqlmap or Metasploit:
sqlmap -r request.txt --batch --dbs
## **Expected Output:**
A fully interactive Burp Suite lab session with:
- Intercepted/modified requests via Proxy.
- Fuzzed endpoints using Intruder.
- Detected vulnerabilities via Scanner.
- Decoded secrets via Decoder.
