Burp Suite is an integrated platform for attacking web
applications. It contains all of the Burp tools with numerous
interfaces between them designed to facilitate and speed up the
process of attacking an application. All tools share the same
robust framework for handling HTTP requests, persistence, authentication,
downstream proxies, logging, alerting and extensibility.
Burp Suite allows you to combine manual and automated
techniques to enumerate, analyse, scan, attack and exploit web
applications. The various Burp tools work together effectively
to share information and allow findings identified within one
tool to form the basis of an attack using another.
Key features unique to Burp Suite include:
Detailed analysis and rendering of requests and responses.
One-click transfer of interesting requests between tools.
Ability to "passively" spider an application in a
non-intrusive manner, with all requests originating from the
user's browser.
FIPS-compliant statistical analysis of session token
randomness.
Utilities for decoding and comparing application data.
Support for custom client and server SSL certificates.
Burp Suite is a Java application, and runs on any platform for which a Java
Runtime Environment is available. It requires version 1.5 or later. The JRE can
be obtained for free from java.sun.com.
