Burp Suite: see and change what your browser sends

A website only shows you what it wants you to see. The request tells the real story.

What it does

Burp Suite sits between your browser and a website, so you can read each request, pause it and change it before it is sent. The free Community edition is enough to start.

Why it matters

It's the standard tool for web security testing, from simple parameter changes to full application tests.

Use it legally

Only test sites you own or have permission to test. PortSwigger's Web Security Academy offers free practice labs.

Try it

Set it up with your browser this week. Stuck? Ask in the community and we'll help. Share what you found in the community.
