Burp is a popular tool used for testing web security. It is available free of cost and provides features such as vulnerability scanning, application mapping, session analysis, and numerous other tools to make web application testing more manageable.
In this tutorial, we will guide you through the installation process of Burp on Debian Latest.
Before we begin, you should have the following:
The first step is to download the Burp package from the official website. The latest version of the package can be found at https://portswigger.net/burp/communitydownload.
You can download the package using the following command:
wget https://portswigger.net/burp/releases/download?product=community&version=2021.5.1&type=linux
After downloading the package, we need to extract it. You can extract the package by using the following command:
tar -xvf burpsuite_community_2021.5.1.tar.xz
Now that we have extracted the package, we need to move it to the appropriate location. We suggest moving it to the /opt directory. You can move the package using the following command:
sudo mv burpsuite_community_2021.5.1 /opt/
To make it easier to launch Burp, we will create a symlink to the command. You can create a symlink using the following command:
sudo ln -s /opt/burpsuite_community_2021.5.1/burpsuite_community /usr/local/bin/burpsuite
You can launch Burp by running the command "burpsuite" in your terminal. Alternatively, you can launch it by using the symlink we created in the previous step:
burpsuite
