What is Burp Suite?

Burp Suite is a powerful integrated platform for performing security testing of web applications. It is designed to support the entire testing process, from initial mapping and analysis of an application's attack surface, through to finding and exploiting security vulnerabilities.

Features of Burp Suite

• Intercepting proxy for man-in-the-middle attacks.
• Web application scanner to detect common web vulnerabilities.
• Automatic brute forcing of login pages.
• Integration with vulnerabilities databases.
• Customizable dashboards and reporting.

How Does Burp Suite Work?

The primary way that Burp Suite works is by acting as an intercepting proxy. When a user interacts with a web application, their traffic is routed through Burp Suite. This allows the user to see and manipulate the request and response data, which can be used to identify latent potential vulnerabilities.

In addition, Burp Suite includes several tools to assist in the security testing process. These include a web application scanner, an intruder tool, a repeater tool, and other useful functions.
