Repeater Tab In Burp Suite

-

What is repeater tab? 

The Repeater tab in Burp Suite is a powerful tool used to manually modify and resend individual HTTP and WebSocket messages. It allows for fine-grained control and testing of how an application responds to specific inputs.



Key Features:

1.Manual Request Editing:

  • You can manually edit the request method (GET, POST, etc.), URL, headers, and body.

  • This is useful for experimenting with different payloads and parameter values.

2.Tabbed Interface:

  • Each request sent to the Repeater opens in a new tab, allowing you to work on multiple requests simultaneously.

  • Tabs can be renamed for better organization.

3.Send Request and View Response:

  • After editing, click the "Send" button to send the modified request.

  • The response from the server is displayed in the side pane, showing the raw HTTP response, headers, and body.

  • The response can be viewed in different formats: raw, pretty, or hex.

4.Request History:

  • The Repeater maintains a history of the requests sent, which allows you to go back and review or resend previous requests.

  • This is particularly useful for tracking changes and comparing different responses.

Practical Applications:

1.Testing for Vulnerabilities:

  • Insert different payloads to test for SQL injection by altering parameters in a query string or POST body.

  • Check for XSS by adding JavaScript payloads to input fields and seeing if the response contains the payload without sanitization.

2.Parameter Tampering:

  • Modify parameter values to see if unauthorized access can be gained (e.g., changing user IDs to access another user's data).

3.Brute Force Testing:

  • Try different authentication credentials to test the login functionality.

How to use repeater tab:



  • In burp suite you find repeater tab. it looks like that.



  • From the intercept tab you can send the request to the repeater tab. you can right click and click on send to repeater or press Ctrl+R for send request to repeater tab.

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...

Network Segmentation: Enhancing Security and Performance

-
Our networks in the modern digital world include a wealth of private. Information. Safeguarding data is crucial, encompassing both financial documents and client details. Network segmentation is useful in this situation as a  effective technique that boosts network performance and security at the same time.   Consider a castle with one massive gate. For just one point of entry, that's a lot of responsibility! Network segmentation is similar to constructing several gates, each of which opens to a distinct area inside the walls of a fortress. It creates walls between various device kinds and functionalities, segmenting your network into smaller, easier-to-manage areas. Why Divide Up Your Network Into Segments? There are two advantages to network segmentation: Enhanced Protection: By dividing up your network, you can isolate a compromise in one area and stop hackers from accessing vital information by moving freely around the network. It's similar to containing the contamina...
