Burp Suite for testers and developers

The purpose of the workshop is to provide testers and developers an overview how the Burp suite can be used for web testing work. Even though Burp is primarily designed for penetration testers, its sophisticated capabilities can come handy for everyone whose job is to perform general bug hunting in web applications.

By the end of the training, participants will have a general understanding of how web applications work under the hood, how to use Burp for troubleshooting errors and how to utilize Burp's tool set for re-creation of error conditions by manual HTTP traffic manipulation.

Web proxies
Different types, features. TLS/SSL related issues. Advantages, disadvantages of proxy implementations.
Burp at a glance
Overall philosophy of the GUI. Sending requests internally between tools. Basic use of the GUI for static HTTP traffic inspection.
Burp and networking
TLS/SSL, certificates, the PortswiggerCA. Importing and exporting certificates. Potential pitfalls with the oh-so-many different SSL certificate formats. Downstream and upstream proxies.
The Target tab
The significance of scope settings. Exclusion lists and the proper scope selection process.
The Spider tab
Operation, caveats and results. Throttling and performance issues.
The Repeater
Operation, use of this versatile tool in several scenarios.
The Sequencer
Setup, parametrization and use. Result interpretation.
The Intruder
Interaction with repeater. The payload position template. Different types of payloads. Attack types (sniper, pitchfork etc.) and usage. Payload selection and pre-send processing. Throttling and result interpretation.
The Decoder
Different encodings and external tools to enhance the efficiency of the process.
The Extender
Basic concepts, the Burp API. Writing extensions for various tasks in Python.

Mastering Burp

In this session, lifelike challenges will be presented to participants as small web applications modelling real-life scenarios, which can be overcome by using and fine-tuning several tools in conjunctions within Burp.
