About OPTIONS data packet problem

BlucCat | Last updated: May 29, 2024 03:45AM UTC

I want to automatically clear the packets whose Method is OPTIONS in the Proxy --> HTTP history module. Such packets are useless and affect manual analysis.

Hi Have you taken a look at using Bambdas to filter the Proxy History? https://portswigger.net/burp/documentation/desktop/tools/proxy/http-history/bambdas https://portswigger.net/burp/documentation/desktop/extensions/bambdas Here's one that has been submitted to our GitHub that allows you to filter out requests that use the OPTIONS method: https://github.com/PortSwigger/bambdas/blob/main/Filter/Proxy/HTTP/FilterOutOptionsRequests.bambda Please let us know if you have any further questions.

I know about Bambdas, but I don't want to use it. Is there any other way?

Hi There is an extension (Filter Options Method) in the BApp Store if you'd prefer to use that: https://forum.portswigger.net/thread/about-options-data-packet-problem-508cc05a

Can I also ask why you prefer not to use Bambdas?
