Burp Suite Cookbook

Getting to Know the Burp Suite of Tools

In this chapter, we will cover the following recipes:

  • Setting the Target Site Map
  • Understanding Message Editor
  • Repeating with Repeater
  • Decoding with Decoder
  • Intruding with Intruder

Introduction

This chapter provides overviews of the most commonly used tools within Burp Suite. The chapter begins by establishing the Target scope within the Target Site Map. This is followed by an introduction to the Message Editor. Then, there will be some hands-on recipes using OWASP Mutillidae II to get acquainted with Proxy, Repeater, Decoder, and Intruder.

Software tool requirements

Setting the Target Site Map

Now that we have traffic flowing between your browser, Burp, and the OWASP BWA virtual machine, we can begin setting the scope of our test. For this recipe, we will use the OWASP Mutillidae II link (http://<Your_VM_Assigned_IP_Address>/mutillidae/) available in the OWASP BWA VM as our target application.

Looking more closely at the Target tab, you will notice there are two subtabs available: Site map and Scope. From the initial proxy setup between your browser, Burp, and the web server, you should now have some URLs, folders, and files shown in the Target | Site map tab. You may find the amount of information overwhelming, but setting the scope for our project will help to focus our attention better.

Getting ready

Understanding the Message Editor

On almost every tool and tab within Burp Suite that display an HTTP message, you will see an editor identifying the request and response. This is commonly referred to as the Message Editor. The Message Editor allows viewing and editing HTTP requests and responses with specialties.

Within the Message Editor are multiple subtabs. The subtabs for a request message, at a minimum, include the following:

  • Raw
  • Headers
  • Hex

The subtabs for a response message include the following:

  • Raw
  • Headers
  • Hex
  • HTML (sometimes)
  • Render (sometimes)

The Raw tab gives you the message in its raw HTTP form. The Headers tab displays HTTP header parameters in tabular format. The parameters are editable, and columns can be added, removed, or modified in the table within tools such as Proxy and Repeater.

For requests containing parameters or cookies, the Params tab is present...

Repeating with Repeater

Repeater allows for slight changes or tweaks to the request, and it is displayed in the left-hand window. A Go button allows the request to be reissued, and the response is displayed in the right-hand window.

Details related to your HTTP request include standard Message Editor details such as Raw, Params (for requests with parameters or cookies), Headers, and Hex.

Details related to the HTTP Response include standard Message Editor details including Raw, Headers, Hex, and, sometimes, HTML and Render.

At the bottom of each panel is a search-text box, allowing the tester to quickly find a value present in a message.

Getting ready

Repeater allows you to manually modify and then re-issue an individual HTTP...

Decoding with Decoder

Burp Decoder is a tool that allows the tester to convert raw data into encoded data or to take encoded data and convert it back to plain text. Decoder supports several formats including URL encoding, HTML encoding, Base64 encoding, binary code, hashed data, and others. Decoder also includes a built-in hex editor.

Getting ready

As a web penetration test progresses, a tester might happen upon an encoded value. Burp eases the decoding process by allowing the tester to send the encoded value to Decoder and try the various decoding functions available.

How to do it...

...

Intruding with Intruder

The Burp Intruder allows a tester to brute-force or fuzz specific portions of an HTTP message, using customized payloads.

To properly set up customized attacks in Intruder, a tester will need to use the settings available in the four subtabs of Intruder:

Getting ready

A tester may wish to fuzz or brute-force parameter values within a message. Burp Intruder eases this process by providing various intruder attack styles, payloads, and options.

How to do it...

Description

Burp Suite is a Java-based platform for testing the security of your web applications, and has been adopted widely by professional enterprise testers. The Burp Suite Cookbook contains recipes to tackle challenges in determining and exploring vulnerabilities in web applications. You will learn how to uncover security flaws with various test cases for complex environments. After you have configured Burp for your environment, you will use Burp tools such as Spider, Scanner, Intruder, Repeater, and Decoder, among others, to resolve specific problems faced by pentesters. You will also explore working with various modes of Burp and then perform operations on the web. Toward the end, you will cover recipes that target specific test scenarios and resolve them using best practices. By the end of the book, you will be up and running with deploying Burp for securing web applications.

This is a good book, Dr. Wear has presented an easy to use cookbook (no better word for it) on utilizing Burp Suite and the basics of web app pentesting. It covers setup of Burp, configuration, suggested plugins, and specific attacks that are useful in starting your career. If you practice these exercises you should do well in entry level web app pentest exercises.

What is custom duty/charge? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

Customs duty are charges levied on goods when they cross international borders. It is a tax that is imposed on imported goods. These duties are charged by special authorities and bodies created by local governments and are meant to protect local industries, economies, and businesses.

Do I have to pay customs charges for the print book order? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

The orders shipped to the countries that are listed under EU27 will not bear custom charges. They are paid by Packt as part of the order.

List of EU27 countries: www.gov.uk/eu-eea:

A custom duty or localized taxes may be applicable on the shipment and would be charged by the recipient country outside of the EU27 which should be paid by the customer and these duties are not included in the shipping charges been charged on the order.

How do I know my custom duty charges? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

The amount of duty payable varies greatly depending on the imported goods, the country of origin and several other factors like the total invoice amount or dimensions like weight, and other such criteria applicable in your country.

For example:

  • If you live in Mexico, and the declared value of your ordered items is over $ 50, for you to receive a package, you will have to pay additional import tax of 19% which will be $ 9.50 to the courier service.
  • Whereas if you live in Turkey, and the declared value of your ordered items is over € 22, for you to receive a package, you will have to pay additional import tax of 18% which will be € 3.96 to the courier service.
