The community edition is good for learning and understanding the workings of the Burp suite, however, for professional testing, a user has to go for premium editions. Also, the tool is highly configurable and can be customized to suit the specific needs of the user. The professional version is available at $449.
In one book it is written to provide in the terminal (passing a JAR to the Java runtime)java -jar /path/to/burpSuite.jar, which when I am typing in terminal giving output Error: Unable to access jarfile /path/to/burpSuite.jar.Now my system has a burpsuite_community.jar file inside or the path is /home/user/BurpSuiteCommunity/burpsuite_community.jarMy question is what should my final command in the terminal (getting confused due to */path/to* -part given in the book.
So, here is how you can successfully install the burp suite onLinux machine, and on Ubuntu platform. Hope you find every step of installingburp suite helpful. If you successfully installed the burp suite, do leave acomment in the comment box and also if you are facing any difficulty, do let meknow in the comment box and I will help you out.
In your opinion, what's the most "elegant" way of updating Burpsuite? I always find the uninstallation then reinstallation of Burpsuite quite finnicky (and as a rule I don't want to break Burpsuite during installation; if it ain't broke etc.)
If you have a compatible router you might be able to use dd-wrt or other firmware project to install Linux on your SOHO router. With Linux on your router you could use a similar port forward rule to push port 80 traffic to burp. There are lots of options available, one of the advantages of the old laptop method is if you mess up on the Laptop the rest of the household can still use the Internet (unless of course you really mess it up). Have fun... ?
Issue: Burpsuite community edition 2020.6 is not rendering on the third screen. What I mean by that is when I start Burpsuite I get the first 3 windows are showing up just fine. The third screen (after clicking on Start Burp in the prior window & not changing any defaults), appears to be black with garbled letters.
Recently I installed Arch linux as main OS and installed burpsuite again but now it won't work anymore. I can access it from the localhost fine, just not from other LAN connected devices like my Android phone. This worked fine on the live usb and on the previous Windows 7 instance.
I made sure it was listening on all interfaces, not just loopback. I checked netstat and I noticed burpsuite was only listening on tcpv6 on port 8080. After some googling I changed the startup command to include "-Djava.net.preferIPv4Stack=true"
as i said chromium has a similar behavior. but other apps i use seldom, so hard to say if vlc or thorium is slower. cups seems slower, but there are many factors involved in printing.
nevertheless i avoid snap stuff like hell. afaik snap is sort of a protected environment (which is a good idea), but as VMs it uses more resources. the good thing is also snap takes care of the dependencies.
but imho linux/ubuntu should have closer look to apples toolboxes instead of zillion libs needed and the dependencies are gone, too.
i did not measure on my laptop yet, which is an acer about 5 years old.
i am an it architect and i see hardware older than 10 years used. even 16.10 was used by dev-ops just 3 years ago. companies do no longer invest millions in new hardware. hence many apps need to run on older hardware.
