Navigate to Preferences > Advanced > Network and click on the ‘Settings’ button under the ‘Connection’ banner. All you need to do is update the browsers settings to include details of the BurpSuite proxy which you can do in a couple of ways: Through the Firefox settings Since the last blog post was focused on Chrome lets look at configuring Firefox to use BurpSuite. Pointing a browser to the BurpSuite proxy Be warned though that the free version doesn’t save your settings so you will need to do this each time. It’s worth adding that if you do need to change the port or IP for your proxy you can update it in the ‘Options’ tab in the ‘Proxy Listeners’ section. To turn it off click on the ‘Proxy’ tab and click on ‘Intercept is on’ to turn it off. However, as default BurpSuite enables it interceptor which can be used for things like man in the middle attacks or data driven testing, but I tend to use proxies in a passive manner so I prefer to turn it off. Setting up BurpSuite ProxyīurpSuite proxy comes out of the box pre-configured and I find that those settings work for me, so the act of loading up BurpSuite means that its proxy server is on. You can download the free version for the Portswigger site and it is a standalone JAR file that you can double click on to load up. Unless a client has a pro license I tend to use the free version of BurpSuite since it contains all the features I need. So in spirit of balance and because I think others may benefit from using BurpSuite I thought I would blog about setting up the BurpSuite proxy and demonstrate some of the features that I use regularly. So while I use POSTMAN regularly there are times I require a different proxy server that offer solutions to the problems above and that proxy is BurpSuite. Whilst POSTMAN saves requests it doesn't save responses which can be a problem when you are trying to capture context specific requests, such as deleting data that has been specifically setup before that request.It's a Chrome app so therefore you can't use it with other browsers or other tools (I use proxies to debug HTTP calls from IDEs a lot to compare and contrast for debug purposes).POSTMAN is a great a tool but there are a few limitations I find with it: I recently blogged about one of my favourite tools POSTMAN and how to set up its proxy server.
