However, there is a trial version that gives you some of the features so that you can personally find out if it’s worthwhile or not for your own use. This is also a commercial tool, but one that I have found invaluable, and something I personally purchase every year for my Web application testing. In this edition (and in this section) however, we will look at the Burp Suite Pro suite of tools, available at. Some free solutions exist as well, including Nikto and Paros Proxy. It also is a commercial product, but I have used it as well and found it very useful in analyzing Web applications. CORE IMPACT has added XSS and SQL attacks to the RPT offerings another great tool is HP WebInspect, offered by Hewlett-Packard Development Company. There are also automated tools available that are quite effective in analyzing and exploiting Web application flaws. Thomas Wilhelm, in Professional Penetration Testing (Second Edition), 2013 Automated Tools Our goal with the Burp intercepting proxy feature is to tweak requests so they still follow the rules of HTTP, but can make the application act unexpectedly. Essentially this tool is acting as a proxy, a “man in the middle,” between you and the web application, allowing you to have finer control over the exact traffic you are sending and receiving.
In Burp Suite you can then tweak the raw HTTP in various ways before forwarding the request on to the web server. With Burp Suite, however, HTTP requests go from your browser straight to Burp Suite, which intercepts the traffic.
Normally HTTP requests go from your browser straight to a web server and then the web server response is sent back to your browser. One of Burp Suite’s main features is its ability to intercept HTTP requests.
Henry Dalziel, in How to Hack and Defend your Website in Three Hours, 2015 1.15 Using the Burp Suite intercepting proxyīurp Suite is a fully featured web application attack tool: it does almost anything that you could ever want to do when penetration testing a web application.
