Burp Proxy Introduction

Introduction into BURP

Burp is a Webapplication Proxy. To practice let's start the DVWA Docker Container.

sudo docker start dvwa

docker ps

Our docker container listens on port 80.

Instead of http://127.0.0.1:80 use the docker interface http://172.17.0.1:80.

The reason for that is that we would not see any traffic in burp otherwise.

Let's start burp and use burp defaults.

Burp listens on 127.0.0.1:8080. If we want burp to intercept webtraffic we need to configure this address as webproxy in our browser.

Burp Interface

We have different Modules here (Proxy, Intruder, Repeater,Sequenzer,Decoder,Comparer...)

Let's go hands on and practice :)
