Headless Burpsuite

Edward | Last updated: Dec 08, 2020 02:51PM UTC

Hi, I am working with the latest version of burp suite and I am having issues running burp suite in headless mode. If I launch burpsuite and use the GUI to run my scan it works just fine. I am using burp suite as part of my automated testing pipeline so I need it to run in burpsuite and produce a report. I launch it with jre/bin/java -Xmx4g -Djava.awt.headless=true -jar /tmp/burpsuite_pro_v2020.11.3.jar --project-file=2020-12-04-payportal.burp --diagnostics --use-defaults --unpause-spider-and-scanner --auto-repair -p -v -c config.xml The project file is from the scan that I did through the gui. The config.xml file is: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <config xmlns="http://nets.eu/burp/config"> <reportType>HTML</reportType> <targetSitemap><![CDATA[https://ottpapweb-dev.ls.cbn]]></targetSitemap> <scope> <url><![CDATA[https://ottpapweb-dev.ls.cbn/index.php]]></url> </scope> </config> I then get no output other then the diagnostics and WARNING: An illegal reflective access operation has occurred WARNING: Illegal reflective access by burp.h_j (file:/tmp/burpsuite_pro_v2020.11.3.jar) to method java.lang.ClassLoader.defineClass(java.lang.String,byte[],int,int) WARNING: Please consider reporting this to the maintainers of burp.h_j WARNING: Use --illegal-access=warn to enable warnings of further illegal reflective access operations WARNING: All illegal access operations will be denied in a future release I can see by looking at the access logs on the server that I am scanning that the scan does at least start. Eventually the access to the site I am scanning stops but the report is never generated. Is there a step that I am missing? Thanks.
