"Automation using Burp with Selenium"

Aditya | Last updated: Jul 26, 2018 10:26PM UTC

Hello Everyone, I am working on automation in Burp via selenium. I am accessing Selenium Server and Burp Suite on Linux machine through Pycharm. I am not able to see the Selenium’s traffic going through Burp proxy in HTTP history. How can I get this problem resolved? I configured proxy settings in test scripts but that didn’t resolve the problem. Please let me know if you need any other details. Thanks for your help. Thanks, Aditya

I can see the geckodriver (Firefox driver) traffic in the HTTP history, but rest all traffic is getting shown for few seconds (less than 1 second time) and then it is getting hidden. I am not sure whether I following the correct approach. Sample HTTP History when I run the test script. Everything is getting blocked when I see this. Note: ocsp.digicert.com is not the intended site I want to reach out to. POST / HTTP/1.1 Host: ocsp.digicert.com User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Ubuntu; linux x86_64; rv:43.0.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/43.0 Accept: text/html Connection-Type: application/ocsp-request Thanks, Aditya

Thank you the documentation link. I am seeing the following issue: Failed to create Burp project: NullPointerException (v1.7.21) I am not able to open the instance of Burp Suite from the terminal.

Could you try updating to the latest version of Burp Suite and and confirming that the behavior persists. Additionally, could you provide us with the steps to reproduce the error?

I am able to resolve this issue. I am facing one more challenge right now. My requirement is turn on and off intercept using python code. Will you please help me with some live demo or link.

PortSwigger Agent | Last updated: Aug 02, 2018 11:02AM UTC

Hi Aditya, Good to hear you got that resolved. You can control interception from Python using setProxyInterceptionEnabled() which is on IBurpExtenderCallbacks. More information here: - https://portswigger.net/burp/extender/api/burp/iburpextendercallbacks.html Please let us know if you need any further assistance.

Is there any Package available for C# through which I can control interception and passive/active scanning?
