Burp Suite Pro showing wrong time

Ricardo | Last updated: Jan 30, 2020 01:51PM UTC

Under HTTP history the time of all requests are one hour late from the actual time. From diagnostics I can see "user.timezone America/Sao_Paulo" which is right. I believe this is a bug related our summer time which has been changed.

Can you tell me if the time on your machine displays as the correct time? If you run another program based on Java, do you also receive an incorrect timestamp?

I did a small app and tested. It wasn't working properlly. C:\Temp>java -cp C:\Temp\ CurrentDateTimeExample1 2020/01/30 13:24:30 So I updated my java and it worked. C:\Temp>java -cp C:\Temp\ CurrentDateTimeExample1 2020/01/30 12:29:34 The problem is still present on Burp. I think you guys need to update the jre deployed with Burp.

You can download the standalone .jar file and run that with a different version of Java. However, Burp isn't fully tested on other Java versions, so you may run into issues. Shipping with Java 13 is currently in our development backlog, but we are unable to provide an ETA for when this will be delivered. Oracle appears to have some documentation on this issue: https://docs.oracle.com/javase/9/troubleshoot/time-zone-settings-jre.htm#JSTGD377

This is actually not an issue. The jre version used buy Burp is using an old version of time zone database. Not sure if it's possible but you could update only the time zone database in the actual java version distributed with Burp Suite installation files.

I've update the time zone database from the Burp jre installation following the instructions from here https://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/tzupdater-readme-136440.htmland now it's showing the right time. You could provide this as a workaround for your users. All Brazilians are having the same issue and maybe some other countries.
