Working with Burp Suite Macros and Extensions
This chapter covers two separate topics that can also be blended together: macros and extensions. Burp Suite macros enable penetration testers to automate events, such as logins or parameter reads, to overcome potential error situations. Extensions, also known as plugins, extend the core functionality found in Burp.
In this chapter, we will cover the following recipes:
- Creating session-handling macros
- Getting caught in the cookie jar
- Adding great pentester plugins
- Creating new issues via the Add & Track Custom Issues extension
- Working with the Active Scan++ extension
- Using Burp Suite extensions for bug bounties
