Burp Suite

Burp Suite is an application that allows for intercepting, analysing, and manipulating web requests in real-time. Think of loading your browser and searching for a website on Google, which then brings you back results. This is handled as a request that is sent with much information included their like a get, put, post, or delete request.

I’m sure that the list of requests above can ignite a brainstorm of how requests can be handled by the web. Now, what if we were able to stop a request midway through, modify the request type and then have that sent to the server? Almost like being in the middle of a connection between two users.

The options available within this tool make it a valuable resource to use during scanning and vulnerability assessment phases.
