What burp-suite-testing does

This skill teaches Claude Code how to interact with Burp Suite during web assessments. It covers configuring the proxy listener on 127.0.0.1:8080, firing up the integrated browser, and setting target scope boundaries to filter out unnecessary network requests.

The instructions walk through manual request crafting with Repeater, fuzzing parameters via Intruder, and reviewing HTTP history logs. Without an installed Burp Suite desktop application and an imported CA certificate, HTTPS traffic interception will fail.

What it helps with

  • capture and inspect browser HTTP traffic through the local proxy
  • isolate assessment targets from background web requests using Target Scope
  • reissue modified parameters using Burp Repeater
  • run automated vulnerability scans in Burp Suite Professional

Example prompts for the agent

  • Help me configure Burp Suite to intercept traffic from the embedded browser
  • How do I isolate target URLs in the Burp Suite site map?
  • Show me how to test input fields for logic errors in Burp Repeater
