itsupport | Last updated: Oct 14, 2020 07:36AM UTC

Hi I have downloaded the installation script "burpsuite_pro_linux_v2020_9_2.sh" in my linux server. Please guide me how to install burp suite on my server also let me know whether any service required for getting this up in GUI.

Hi, You will just need to run the following commands to firstly make the script executable and then execute the installation script itself: chmod +x burpsuite_pro_linux_v2020_9_2.sh sudo ./burpsuite_pro_linux_v2020_9_2.sh This will launch an installation wizard and you can just follow the defaults within this wizard to install the software. Everything you need to run Burp is contained within the installation wizard so you should not need to install anything else.

Hi, I am trying to run this installation on an Ubuntu 18 server without GUI and I want to access the burp suite with my internal IP:port. Now I have completed the installation from terminal but no installation screen came and I installed via terminal itself Is it possible. Right know when I tried installation, its showing as localhost IP can I make it available over my internal IP. root@burpsuittoolsvr:/home/user# netstat -tulnp Active Internet connections (only servers) Proto Recv-Q Send-Q Local Address Foreign Address State PID/Program name tcp 0 0 127.0.0.53:53 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN 991/systemd-resolve tcp 0 0 0.0.0.0:22 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN 1268/sshd tcp6 0 0 127.0.0.1:8080 :::* LISTEN 17348/java tcp6 0 0 127.0.0.1:46129 :::* LISTEN 17348/java tcp6 0 0 :::22 :::* LISTEN 1268/sshd udp 0 0 127.0.0.53:53 0.0.0.0:* 991/systemd-resolve root@burpsuittoolsvr:/home/user#

Hi, Can you clarify what you are trying to achieve by launching Burp from the terminal? Is your intention to use all the features but never interact with the GUI? You can try launching Burp from the command line: https://portswigger.net/support/using-burp-suites-command-line-arguments, and integrate this with the REST API (https://portswigger.net/blog/burps-new-rest-api) to launch scans. If you want to use the full features of the product, I suggest using the GUI. If your intention is to just run automated scans, you may benefit from using Burp Enterprise. You can apply for a free trial here: https://portswigger.net/requestfreetrial/enterprise.

Hi, Thank you for update. I am using Ubuntu server and it's not one like laptop or desktop like GUI. Installation wizard page is not poping up and I need to add all details from command line. So my question is, will Burp suite professional supports on Ubuntu server (18--version) or I can use only in my Ubuntu desktop or laptop with GUI. My actual requirement is like accessing the Burp suite professional interface with IP of server.
