🛠️BurpSuite

Burp Suite is one of the most popular security testing tool. Burp Suite can be used to identify different types of vulnerabilities, such as SQL injection or cross-site scripting, by testing the web application beyond its graphical user interface (GUI). It is a type of proxy server, which means it sits between the user’s web browser and the web server to observe and manipulate all the data that is being sent back and forth. Burp Suite has different features such as proxy, Repeater, intruder, scanner, decoder, and more..

• Proxy: Burp Suite’s proxy function allows users to intercept and modify HTTP requests between a user’s web browser and the web server. This allows for the observation and manipulation of web traffic, which can help identify potential security issues.

• Repeater: Burp Suite Repeater lets us grab a request, change it however we want, and send it again and again. This can be super useful, especially when we have to guess a payload by trying different things (like in SQLi) or when we want to see if an endpoint has any bugs.

• Intruder: Burp Suite’s intruder feature contains several different attacks that can be performed on a remote website. These attacks include dictionary attacks and brute force attacks, which can help identify vulnerabilities in the web application’s authentication mechanisms.

• Scanner: Burp Suite’s scanner function allows users to scan a particular website for potential vulnerabilities. This feature automates the testing process and provides detailed reports on any vulnerabilities that are found.

• Decoder: Burp Suite’s decoder function allows users to decode different types of data, such as URL encoding. This can help identify potential security issues in the web application’s handling of data.

When to use Burp suite?

Hackers are always looking for ways to intercept the traffic so make sure hackers won’t be able to intercept the traffic.

Why to use Burp suite?

• Ensure that app/web applications are secure and reliable.

• By using the burp suite we can check the vulnerability of websites and applications.
