You can write your own custom action scripts to extract, transform, and analyze data in Burp Repeater.
Custom actions are written in Java, and are designed to be small, self-contained pieces of logic. This makes them quick and easy to write, even for beginners. Scripts can include AI-powered features for smarter workflows.
Once you've created a script, you can save it to your Bambda library. This is your personal collection of reusable scripts. You can load your scripts into the Custom actions panel whenever you need them.
