Book Description:
This book is designed to teach the knowledge of a skilled Burp user that will allow users to effectively conduct various types of tests with any online application that you want to test. The book begins by familiarizing users to Burp Suite on various operating platforms and shows you how to alter the settings to maximize performance.

Additionally, you will gain hands-on experience with Burp’s features including Target, Proxy, Intruder, Scanner, Repeater, Spider, Sequencer, Decoder and many more. It will then shift to extracting, searching, and matching patterns in responses and requests, and you will be taught how to use upstream proxy servers as well as SSL certificates. In the next step, you’ll be diving in the realm of Burp Extensions, and learn how to create simple extensions of your own using Java, Python, and Ruby.
