Burp Suite Proxy and Intercepting Requests
Configure Burp Suite, intercept HTTP traffic, and use Repeater to manually test inputs.
Why Intercept HTTP Traffic?
Web application security testing requires seeing and modifying every HTTP request and response. Burp Suite acts as a man-in-the-middle proxy between your browser and the target, giving you full visibility and control.
Burp Suite Editions
Burp Community (free): proxy, repeater, intruder (rate-limited), decoder. Burp Pro: active scanner, full intruder, collaborator. For most learning and manual testing, Community is sufficient.
