How To Increase The Amount Of RAM Used By Burp

Haydelawal | Last updated: Apr 28, 2021 03:22PM UTC

Good Day Portswigger. I'm running burp on a vmware. I want to increase the amount of ram used by burp. It always seem to use very little ram out of the available ram i have. Can I increase allocated ram on burp somehow? Thanks in advance <3

Hi, Are you using the installed version of Burp or the standalone Jar file?

the installed version of burp suite professional

If you are using the installed version of Burp Suite Professional you will see a vmoptions file in the installation directory. This file contains a line that specifies how much memory to use as a percentage of the memory available on your system. By default, this is 50 but you can customize this setting if you wish. I hope this helps. Please let us know if you have any questions.

How can I increase RAM usage on community edition ??

If you are using Burp Suite Community Edition you will also have a vmoptions file in the installation directory. You also have the option to create a user.vmoptions file so that any settings yous elect are preserved when you upgrade Burp.
