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.

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

Let's go hands on and practice :)
