Burp is a popular tool for testing the security of web applications. If you are an OpenBSD user and want to install Burp on your system, this tutorial will guide you through the steps.
Before you begin, you must have:
OpenBSD uses pkg_add to install packages. Before installing Burp, you need to check if the necessary dependencies are installed on your system. In the terminal window, execute the following command:
sudo pkg_add openjdk-11.0.2p10
This command will install the latest version of OpenJDK 11 on your system.
Next, you need to download the Burp package from the official website. You can either download the free or paid version of Burp depending on the requirements of your project.
wget https://portswigger.net/burp/releases/download?product=community&version=2.2.03&type=jar -O burp.jar
This command will download the Burp JAR file to your local system.
Once you have downloaded the Burp JAR file, you can run it using the following command:
java -jar burp.jar
This command will launch the Burp Suite on your system. Once the tool is launched, you can start testing the security of your web applications.
In this tutorial, we outlined how to install Burp on OpenBSD. The process may seem complex, but it's straightforward with the right steps. With Burp, you can test and secure your web applications, protecting them from security threats.
