Burpsuite Certificate

Hollis, | Last updated: Jun 25, 2020 03:11PM UTC

Hi - I'm very new to BurpSuite and I'm trying to learn from scratch. At the moment I'm failing at one of the earlier hurdles. I am unable to access the http://www.burp.com/ page to download the burp certificate due to my companies policies. The message I received from the support team was, "This site Is currently categorized as a parked domain and this category is blocked by per Experian policy. If you think this category is an error you can have the admin of this site to reach out to trustedsource.org to clarify any category discrepancy." Is there other way of getting the certificate? Or is it necessary? I do need to test https sites. Thanks

Hi Jonathan, The general steps are: 1. Launch Burp 2. Ensure that the Proxy Listener is enabled under Proxy > Options > Proxy Listeners 3. Configure your browser to work with Burp. For Firefox, you can set the proxy settings within the Browser itself - these need to match the same IP and port you see under Proxy Listeners 4. Navigate to http://burp (not http://www.burp.com) 5. Download and install the certificate in your browser I have attached some links below that you may find helpful. There are also helpful videos on YouTube. - https://portswigger.net/support/configuring-your-browser-to-work-with-burp - https://portswigger.net/support/configuring-firefox-to-work-with-burp
