Headless mode of the Proxy

Yordan | Last updated: Feb 22, 2022 02:58PM UTC

Hi, I want to setup Burp in Headless mode in a way to observe the traffic which goes through it as a proxy. Is it possible to see all the requests as the way they can be seen in the Proxy -> HTTP History tab? Regards, Yordan

Hi Yordan, You can use various command line parameters to control Burp's behaviour on startup and you can see all of the options on the following page: https://portswigger.net/burp/documentation/desktop/getting-started/launch-from-command-line The -Djava.awt.headless=true argument can be used to start Burp in headless mode.
