Extensions Tab In Burp Suite

What is the extensions Tab?

This tab allows you to extend Burp Suite's functionality by adding custom extensions, either created by yourself or available from the BApp Store (Burp's application store). Extensions can be written in Java, Python, or Ruby, and they enable you to add new features or automate tasks within Burp Suite.

Key Features of the Extensions Tab:

1.BApp Store: This is where you can browse and install pre-built extensions. The BApp Store offers a variety of extensions that can enhance Burp Suite's capabilities, from additional scanning features to improved UI elements.

2. Installed Extensions: This section lists all the extensions you have currently installed. You can enable, disable, or uninstall them as needed.

3. Extension Details: When you select an extension, detailed information about it is displayed, including the author's name, version, and a description of its functionality.

4. Output: The Output tab is where any messages or logs generated by the extensions are displayed. This can be useful for debugging or monitoring the activity of an extension.

5. Errors: Any errors generated by the extensions are displayed in this tab. This helps in troubleshooting issues with your extensions.

6.APIs: Burp Suite provides APIs that you can use when creating your own extensions. These APIs allow you to interact with the different parts of Burp Suite, like intercepting traffic, scanning for vulnerabilities, and manipulating requests and responses.

7. Loading Extensions: You can load your own custom extensions by selecting the "Add" button and pointing to the extension file. Supported file formats include .jar (Java), .py (Python), and .rb (Ruby).

8. Extension Settings: Some extensions come with their own settings, which you can configure directly from the Extensions tab. These settings allow you to customize the behavior of the extension according to your needs.

Use Cases:

  • Automation: You can automate repetitive tasks, such as modifying HTTP requests, scanning specific endpoints, or extracting data from responses.

  • Customization: Create extensions that tailor Burp Suite to your specific workflow, adding features or integrating with other tools.

  • Enhanced Analysis: Extensions can add new scanning techniques, analysis tools, or reporting capabilities.

How to use the extensions tab :



  • In the burp suite, you find the extensions tab. it looks like that.


  • click on extensions and then click on Bapp store to install extensions.


  • for example, I install .net beautifier. for install click on that extension then click on install.


  • after the installation is done the extension looks like this.

  • in the installed tab you see the installed extensions from here you can also remove them.

OWASP Top 10 : Understanding Broken Access Control

What is broken access control? Broken access control is a security issue where users can access data or perform actions that they shouldn't be allowed to. This happens when the system fails to properly enforce rules about what users can and cannot do. Types of access controls :  1 . Vertical privilege escalation:  Vertical privilege escalation happens when a normal user gains access to functionalities reserved for higher-privileged users. Example:  A normal user can change the policies of the company.  2. Horizontal privilege escalation:  Horizontal privilege escalation allows a user to switch their access to another user's account, essentially impersonating them. Example:  A normal user can switch their account to admin.  3 . Insecure direct object reference ( IDOR):  IDOR occurs when an application exposes a reference to an internal implementation object, such as a file, directory, or database key. Example:  Suppose...

Intruder - Battering Ram Attack

Purpose:  The Battering Ram attack type is used when you need to insert the same payload into multiple positions within the same request. This can be useful in scenarios where multiple fields might share the same value or where you want to test how the application handles identical inputs across different parameters. How It Works: Multiple Position Synchronization:  In a Battering Ram attack, the same payload is simultaneously inserted into all the designated positions within the request. Synchronized Input Testing:  This type of attack is beneficial for testing inputs that are expected to be the same or related across different fields. Steps: 1.Capture the Request: Use Burp Suite’s Proxy tab to intercept the login request. For example, the intercepted HTTP POST request might look like this :                                       ...

Intruder - Pitchfork Attack

Purpose:  The Pitchfork attack type allows you to test multiple parameters with different payloads simultaneously. It’s ideal for scenarios where you want to test how different combinations of inputs interact with each other. How It Works: Parallel Payload Insertion:  In a Pitchfork attack, Burp Suite inserts different payloads from multiple lists into multiple positions. Each position gets its unique payload. Combinatorial Testing:  This method is effective when you suspect that specific combinations of inputs might trigger unique responses or vulnerabilities. Steps: 1.Capture the Request: Use Burp Suite’s Proxy tab to intercept the login request. For example, the intercepted HTTP POST request might look like this :                                        POST /example?p1=p1val&p2=p2val HTTP/1.0      ...
