Using Burp Suite to spider a website

With similar functionalities to ZAP, and with some distinctive features and a more easy-to-use interface, Burp Suite is the most used tool for application security testing. Burp Suite can do much more than just crawl a website, but for now, as a part of the reconnaissance phase, we will cover only its spidering features.

Getting ready

Start Burp Suite by going to Kali's Applications menu, then click on 03 - Web Application Analysis | Burpsuite.

Then, configure the browser to use it as proxy through the port 8080.
