Overview
Burp Suite is a comprehensive suite of tools designed for web application security testing. It includes features like an intercepting proxy, scanner, and intruder to help you identify and exploit vulnerabilities.
FoxyProxy is a browser extension that simplifies the management of proxy settings, allowing you to route your web traffic through different proxies with ease. When combined with Burp Suite, it enables efficient and controlled interception of HTTP/HTTPS traffic.
Step-by-Step Configuration
1. Install Burp Suite:
Download and install Burp Suite from the official PortSwigger website.
Launch Burp Suite and go to the "Proxy" tab, then click on "Options."
Note the "Proxy Listeners" section, ensuring that Burp Suite is configured to listen on the desired port (default is 127.0.0.1:8080).
2. Install FoxyProxy:
Add the FoxyProxy extension to your browser. It is available for both Firefox and Chrome:
FoxyProxy for Firefox
FoxyProxy for Chrome
Once installed, you’ll find the FoxyProxy icon in your browser’s toolbar.
3. Configure FoxyProxy:
Click on the FoxyProxy icon and select "Options" or "Settings."
Click "Add" to create a new proxy configuration.
Set up the proxy as follows:
Title: Burp Suite (or any name you prefer)
Proxy Type: HTTP
Proxy IP Address: 127.0.0.1
Port: 8080 (or the port you noted from Burp Suite)
Optionally, configure other settings such as “Bypass proxy for” to exclude specific URLs from being routed through Burp Suite.
4. Enable the Proxy:
In FoxyProxy, select the Burp Suite proxy profile you just created.
Make sure it’s enabled, which will route all your web traffic through Burp Suite.
5. Verify the Setup:
In your browser, visit a website to ensure traffic is being routed through Burp Suite. You should see the traffic appear in the Burp Suite "HTTP history" tab.
Test different types of requests (e.g., GET, POST) to ensure all traffic is being intercepted.
6. Adjust Burp Suite Settings (if needed):
Go back to Burp Suite and adjust settings in the "Proxy" tab under "Options" to customize how Burp Suite handles requests and responses.
7. Start Testing:
With Burp Suite and FoxyProxy configured, you’re ready to start your web security testing. Utilize Burp Suite’s tools to analyze and manipulate traffic as needed.
Troubleshooting Tips
No Traffic in Burp Suite: Double-check that FoxyProxy is correctly configured and that the proxy settings in your browser match those in Burp Suite.
HTTPS Traffic Issues: Ensure that Burp Suite’s CA certificate is installed in your browser if you’re intercepting HTTPS traffic. You can find instructions in Burp Suite’s documentation.
By following these steps, you'll be well-equipped to perform thorough web security testing using Burp Suite and FoxyProxy. Happy testing!
