How can I move burp extension folder elswhere ?

RedAmber | Last updated: Feb 06, 2022 11:57AM UTC

My username on this computer has a non ascii character in it, this causes problems to load any python extensions. I can't change my username on the computer (company policy T^T) so the only for me to load any python extension would be to move it so the path doesn't contain my name (like in C:\program files for example), but i can't find the option to define the extensions installation folder ... Is it even possible ?

Hi

You can't change the default installation for BApp Store extensions installed through the BApp Store. However, if you manually load the BApp into Burp, then it will use the file path of the location of the file.

You can do this by following these instructions:
  1. Go to the online BApp Store
  2. Select the extension you want, and "Download BApp".
  3. In Burp, go to "Extender > BApp Store" and click on the "Manual install" button on the bottom left.
  4. Load in your chosen .bapp file.
