Customize the predefined intruder payloads

Andrei | Last updated: May 24, 2022 07:27AM UTC

Hello, I would like to add more data to the predefined intruder payloads. eg add regional names to the list of usernames. I am aware I can enhance the testing list by adding the default one and then my own but doing this constantly is a waste of time. Is it possible to easily modify these lists? If not I will open a FR. Thank you. Regards, Andrei

Hi Andrei, If you select the 'Intruder' -> 'Configure predefined payload lists' main menu option, the resulting 'Preset Payload Lists' dialog should allow you to copy the pre-built payload lists into a directory of your choosing. You can edit these .pay payload files manually to include any additional entries that you wish to supplement the original lists with. You can then configure Burp to load these custom payload lists from the directory that you have specified, going forward (so Burp will load the payload files from your directory rather than using the default lists). There is some further information about this within the 'Predefined payload lists' section of the following page: https://portswigger.net/burp/documentation/desktop/tools/intruder/payloads/types
