Burp Suite

Burp Suite is a leading, Java-based software platform for web application security testing and penetration testing, developed by PortSwigger. It features an intercepting proxy, scanner, repeater, and intruder, allowing users to analyze, manipulate, and automate web traffic to find vulnerabilities. It is widely used by professionals and beginners, with a free Community edition available.

Key Components and Functionality

Proxy: Intercepts, inspects, and modifies HTTP/S and WebSockets traffic between a browser and a server.
Repeater: A tool for manually manipulating and re-sending individual requests to test server responses.
Intruder: Automates customized attacks, such as brute-forcing, fuzzing, or enumerating parameters.
Scanner: (Professional only) Performs automated DAST (Dynamic Application Security Testing) to find vulnerabilities.
Extensions (BApp Store): Extends functionality with third-party tools.

Editions

Community Edition: Free, includes manual tools like Proxy and Repeater, but lacks the automated scanner and has limited project-saving capabilities.
Professional Edition: Paid, includes the automated scanner, advanced tools, and is designed for penetration testers.

Burp Suite comes pre-installed on Kali Linux, making it highly accessible for security professionals.
