Duplicate entries for single project in disk project list

M | Last updated: Mar 12, 2018 09:19PM UTC

I noticed this weird behavior when I named one like "thatProject" with a mix of upper and lower letters now it always show as duplicate entries in projects list like: "ThatProject" "/path/ThatProject.burp" "thatProject.burp" "/path/thatProject.burp" I cleaned and removed configurations and everything and whenever I type that name as a project it duplicate its entry Thank You

Where are these settings saved in macOS? I deleted the project files and ".BurpSuite" folder in home directory then when make a new name variation for the project "THATPROJECT" in all caps it shows the three names for it in project list "ThatProject" "/path/ThatProject.burp" "thatProject.burp" "/path/thatProject.burp" "THATPROJECT" "/path/THATPROJECT.burp" I also deleted these files /private/var/db/BootCaches/xxxxxxxxxx/app.com.portswigger.burp.playlist /private/var/folders/z0/xxxxxxxxxxxxxx/C/com.portswigger.burp /Users/USER/Library/Saved Application State/com.portswigger.burp.savedState

The only thing that stopped this behavior is saving in a different path but saving to this specific path with this specific name for a project it will list all the past names for this project ignoring "Case Sensitivity" so I think it should only pull the current name saved in path

We've been unable to reproduce this issue in our testing. Are the files duplicated in the file they are saved in or just the project list?

They are duplicated in the project list but there is only one .burp file in the saved path here is how I think it should be reproduced Name a new project with a name like "NewProject" and open it then close burp and delete the project .burp file Now open burp and the project list should be empty make a new disk project with the name "NEWPROJECT" and save in the same path we saved the deleted project before after closing burp and opening it again you will see both "NewProject" and "NEWPROJECT" listed in project list while only NEWPROJECT.burp and it will keep on adding these variations of the same name but different letter cases

Thanks for the additional details Mike. We've reproduced the issue and will inform you when we've fixed it.

Hi Mike, Those values are stored in the Java preferences. You can access these from Jython, e.g. from java.util.prefs import Preferences Preferences.userRoot().node('burp') Please let us know if you need any further assistance.

Actually, just wondering you know, where these values are saved !? I mean this history of every project "name" I saved Seems like very persistent to me
