Burp Suite Pro version 2020.2.1- customize form submission default values

Nick | Last updated: Apr 16, 2020 09:11PM UTC

How do we customize the default form submission values in Burp Suite Pro version 2020.2.1? If possible we would like to preappend a custom string e.g. "<company_name_here>_" to each form input value to help our assessment customer delineate our scanning traffic/test submissions. Thanks.

Also just to clarify, this is for spider/crawling - in Burp Suite Pro v1.x there was a way to set a rule for custom form submission values under spider options, but we can't figure out where to configure this in the new burp version 2020.x Thanks

Hi, Unfortunately, we removed the ability to customize the values that Burp uses in forms. Burp will now use random values that it deems appropriate for the form field type. Is this something that you would potentially like to see added back into Burp? If so, i can raise a feature request for our development team.

Yes, please raise a feature request to your development team to add this feature back into Burp. Thank you.

I don't know if it has already been reintroduced but if not, +1 for the future request. Is often necessary to allow the target side to identify the audit activity (and so to clean it out when over).

+1 vote to add it back in. It's been a few years. Any update on this?

Hi Abdul, This kind of functionality is not in our short term plans but we can certainly add your interest to the existing feature request so that we can continue to monitor how popular this is.
