Burp Suite

A widely used web application security testing platform from PortSwigger built around an intercepting proxy.

Definition

Burp Suite (Community, Professional and DAST editions) lets testers inspect and modify HTTP traffic, scan for vulnerabilities, and manually test with tools such as Repeater and Intruder. It is standard in web penetration testing and appears on most pentest exams.

Example

A tester uses Burp's proxy history to review every API request a single-page app sends.

Exam tip

Know it as the standard intercepting proxy for manual web testing.
