Burp Suite Web Application Testing

To intercept and modify HTTP traffic for web security testing, configure your browser proxy to route requests through the interception proxy, capture the target request, edit its parameters to test input validation, and forward it to analyze the server response.

Testing for SQL injection using request interception involves capturing a login request, modifying the username parameter with injection payloads in the Repeater, and resending the modified request to verify server responses for vulnerabilities.

Setting up scope and running automated vulnerability scans requires defining the target application URLs in your scope settings, then launching automated scans to efficiently uncover security issues across the configured web application targets.

You can use the Repeater to manually test business logic vulnerabilities by sending individual intercepted requests, modifying specific request parameters to manipulate application logic, and resending them repeatedly to identify security flaws.

Manual request testing involves modifying and resending individual requests to pinpoint specific vulnerabilities, whereas automated scanning systematically launches scans and attacks across the application to efficiently uncover broader security issues.
