I cant edit burpsuite directory

Faisal | Last updated: Apr 21, 2022 05:24PM UTC

I currently upgraded my PARROT OS, and now i cant run burpsuite as the below error occurs Error To run Burp Suite using Java 17+, please supply the following JVM argument: --add-opens=java.desktop/javax.swing=ALL-UNNAMED --add-opens=java.base/java.lang=ALL-UNNAMED When i tried applying the arguments by Sudo nano /usr/bin/burpsuite The nano editor doesnot recognize the character i can see weird non-readable characters and symbols only. Can someone help me fix this

Hi Faisal, On the ParrotOS operating system the actual Burp Suite Jar file is actually named burpsuite and is located in the /usr/bin directory (so you will not be able to open the 'burpsuite' file in a text editor). If you want to run the preinstalled version of Burp using Java 17 you would need to use the following command instead of just entering 'burpsuite': java --add-opens=java.base/java.lang=ALL-UNNAMED --add-opens=java.desktop/javax.swing=ALL-UNNAMED -jar /usr/bin/burpsuite
