Docker for Burp Pro

Gabriel | Last updated: May 27, 2020 09:21AM UTC

Hi, I have a Burp Pro jar file and I want to run it in a docker container. I have comped the ~/.java/.userPrefs/burp/prefs.xml to my container, but I still get: Burp will now attempt to contact the license server and activate your license. This will require Internet access. NOTE: license activations are monitored. If you perform too many activations, further activations for this license may be prevented. Enter preferred activation method (o=online activation; m=manual activation; r=re-enter license key) when I try to run the jar file. How can I provide an already activated license to the container?

Hi, It might be better if you create your own docker image by activating an instance of Burp Suite within an image and then committing a new layer so that you can use that image in the future.

I think it is also possible to copy the ~/.java/.userPrefs/burp/prefs.xml from the activated docker to my host and use it further for all the other docker builds.

Can you please provide instruction on how you did that? Because I was testing it as well following a guide I found online and my license just got invalid :/

Hi, I would like to know if there would be problems with the license of burp suite PRO y I have one docker image activated, and i start multiples instances of this image at the same time. Regards

Hi David, That is not something we have tested. Can you try it out and let us know if it works?

Hi, I will try to create the docker image with burp pro activated, and test if it has any problems. I hope my burp pro account does not get banned for this. :( Regards
