Burp Suite is a hacking and protection tool available for both Linux, Mac OS and Windows, developed by Portswigger. It is software available in 3 versions, including the Professional, Enterprise and Community, both the Pro and Enterprise versions are paid and can be tried for free for a limited time, and the Community version is freely available with a lack of some software and features. Mostly, we find the Community version in different systems ready, such as Kali Linux.
The Burp Suite tool is a hacking tool for web applications and relies on several technologies that qualify it to become so and is considered one of the most popular hacking tools in the world for that.
Uses of the Burp Suite tool:
The Burp Suite hack tool comes loaded with a set of secondary technologies that qualify you for one single goal and is to test the penetration of web applications and sites in the first place. This tool can detect any confusion in the sites or any problem in the connection and access to the site by the user.
Burp Suite can eavesdrop and intercept any cross-site communications, it can perform a comprehensive check of any website or web application and extract its most important vulnerabilities (such as SSL security certificates, cookies if they cause any harm to the user ...) until it detects Gaps in the sites as well, and Burp Suite can simulate an attack on websites and web applications via several technologies to expose the power of websites. Even the tool is more sophisticated and intelligent as well, as it is possible to extract all the files in any web application from images, videos, media files or even scripts (written files, whether they are code or any other type of file).
And because in web applications depend on encryption a lot, there are technologies in Burp Suite that enable you to more than decrypt these codes (especially Javascript codes) and can also extract session files and cookies sometimes in the sites that Burp Suite software is applied to.
Main components of Burp Suite software and its uses:
What makes the Burp Suite tool really powerful is the set of tools and secondary technologies already in the tool, the same tools that differentiate between the free version and the paid versions of the tool as well, in this paragraph we will explain most of these tools, some of which you may find beforehand in the free version and Others are only available in paid versions.
The Scanner tool among Burp Suite and considered the most deadly in the Burp Suite tool in general, not available in the free version. This tool allows you to thoroughly search the site for any type of errors and gaps that can be used and the examination remains for a long time according to the type and branch of the site.
Burp Intruder tool is one of the tools that you will like as well, this tool performs potential attacks on the site from Brute Force attacks to guess passwords to SQL Injection attacks on web application links, and the tool works more accurately to change the configuration of the HTTP Request so that you add and amend On the HTTP Requests links until a specific type of bug or vulnerability is found.
The Target tool is a tool available in the free version of the software and this tool provides you with all the information that you need about the web application or the site that you want to target to bring you all the information that you need from the DNS servers, information about the domain, information about the platform used in the application Web and much information, we can define this tool as a tool to collect information about a specific goal.
The Decoder tool, and as its name indicates, its goal is to decode the results or the Responses that are obtained during the sending of a specific request and reach the results in an encrypted way, do not tire yourself in trying to decode it only, use the Decoder tool that is already in the Burp Suite will do the work.
The Proxy tool, which is considered the most popular tool in Burp Suite in general, we can define it as a Man in the Middle software between the browser and the server, so that it spies on all the data that is sent, received and exchanged between both the browser and the server, that is, when you click on the entry For a specific site that is sending and receiving requests, Proxy shows it all in the software.
Repeater, is a tool that allows you to manipulate the values in the links of sites when performing GET operations, for example, assuming that a site link, for example, website.com/user/1 brings to us user No. 1, this tool will start manipulating numbers until you reach, for example, a result Specific, for example, / user / 256, and here we know that the number of users is 256 users on the site. Of course, it can be manipulated with many great advantages.
Sequencer tool, this tool is a little complicated in use and needs some time in order to understand the modus operandi, the goal of the tool is to try to understand the cipher in Tokens that are generated in a specific site, here's an example that explains the matter more: for example in Facebook Token is specified Dedicated while using a specific web application for the first time, you may find it random, but there is inevitably a pattern that follows, for example, it may collect today's date, for example: 21012020748 (it appears random at the beginning, but dividing it may give you the date of the day and the hour) ..., Sequencer tool tries to strip the Tokens Randomness and trying to understand the stereotypical embodiment.
Clickbandit tool, this technique relies on generating codes that can be inserted into the site in order to collect clickjacking operations. If you have no idea about clickjacking, it is additions that are added in a hidden location so that it tracks the user’s movements and when he clicks on the page you do a specific job, It became very popular among the site users to bring the likes of their pages to Facebook so that a button is added to the page in an invisible way chasing the mouse's arrow. Once clicked, the user would like to do the page without knowing.
Extender tool, it allows you to simply add new tools and new additions to the program so that the developer company publishes programs from time to time that can be included for the program via the Extender, consider it like browser extensions (Extensions).
