Top 8 Best BurpSuite Extensions For Pentesters To Find More Vulnerabilities

As a penetration tester or security professional, staying ahead of the curve is crucial. BurpSuite, a popular proxy intercepting and web app pentesting tool, becomes even more powerful with the right extensions.

In this article, we'll explore the top 8 BurpSuite extensions that can significantly enhance your ability to find vulnerabilities and streamline your penetration testing process.

1. Autorize

Autorize is an essential extension for any pentester looking to uncover authorization vulnerabilities efficiently. These types of vulnerabilities can be time-consuming to detect manually, but Autorize automates much of the process. Just make sure you cross-check every reported finding to mitigate false positive results.

2. BLACKBIRD Integration Extension

The BLACKBIRD Integration Extension brings the power of the BLACKBIRD Web App Pentesting Suite directly into your BurpSuite workflow. This seamless integration allows for comprehensive vulnerability scanning without leaving the BurpSuite interface.

Key Features:

• Comprehensive Vulnerability Scanning: The plugin allows you to scan URLs for a variety of vulnerabilities, including:
  • Command Injections
  • SQL Injections
  • Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF)
  • Local File Inclusion (LFI)
  • Server-Side Template Injection (SSTI)
  • Cross-Site Scripting (XSS)
  • Open URL Redirects
  • CORS Misconfigurations
• Audit JavaScript Files: The plugin can analyze JavaScript files for potential vulnerabilities, ensuring that client-side code is also secure.
• Configurable Settings: Users can easily configure the API key, timeout, and delay settings to tailor the scanning process to their needs.
• User-Friendly Interface: The integration provides an intuitive interface within Burpsuite, making it easy to initiate scans from anywhere.

3. Reflector

Real-time detection of reflected XSS vulnerabilities is made possible with the Reflector extension. This tool is invaluable for quickly identifying potential XSS entry points while browsing target websites.

4. ParamMiner

ParamMiner is a powerful extension for discovering hidden and unlinked parameters. This tool is particularly useful for uncovering web cache poisoning vulnerabilities, which can be challenging to detect through standard methods.

5. JS Miner (PRO only)

For Burpsuite Professional users, JS Miner is an invaluable tool for analyzing static files, with a focus on JavaScript and JSON. This extension can uncover sensitive information and potential vulnerabilities hidden within these files.

6. InQL

InQL is a robust, open-source extension designed for advanced GraphQL testing. As GraphQL APIs become more prevalent having a dedicated tool for testing these endpoints is crucial.

7. Upload Scanner (PRO only)

Another extension exclusive to Burpsuite Professional users, Upload Scanner focuses on security testing for HTTP file uploads. This is a critical area often overlooked in web application security assessments.

8. Turbo Intruder

Turbo Intruder is designed for scenarios requiring high-speed, long-duration, or complex HTTP request sequences. It complements the built-in Burp Intruder by handling attacks that push beyond the normal limits that come with the Community Edition.

Conclusion

By incorporating these 8 extensions into your penetration testing toolkit, you'll be better equipped to uncover a wider range of vulnerabilities more efficiently.
