Community edition available free from PortSwigger.

Installation

# Download Community or Pro from portswigger.net
# Launch
java -jar burpsuite_community.jar

# Kali often ships with it or via apt

Using

# Start Burp → set browser proxy to 127.0.0.1:8080
# Install CA certificate from http://burpsuite

# Core workflow:
# - Proxy: intercept + history
# - Repeater: manual request editing
# - Intruder: controlled fuzzing
# - Scanner (Pro): active scanning
# - Collaborator: out-of-band detection

Current Step

Manual traffic interception, request manipulation, and validation of automated findings.

Next Step

Use Repeater / Intruder on interesting requests from httpx / nuclei / ffuf. Confirm impact and write the report.

Errors Fixes

  • Certificate warnings → install Burp CA in browser and system trust store
  • Java version → use a supported JDK
  • Low memory → increase -Xmx in the launch command
  • Community limits → Pro required for full scanner and some extensions
