Intercept odd behavior

j | Last updated: Jul 20, 2018 01:32PM UTC

Hi Support. Seems that while Intercept works, I cannot see anything in "Raw" data tab, but I do see data in "Headers" and "Hex". If I try to forward to Repeater, same thing. Nothing is in HTTP History either. I have already tried restoring to default the client/server Intercept settings, and even removed BurpSuite from host, then downloaded & installed new 1.7.35 installer from your site. When I put entries into Scope, refresh page, Intercept tab lights up, I can forward it on, the browser will process the action, but am still missing readable data. Do you think its java version? Linux 4.14.0-kali3-amd64 #1 SMP Debian 4.14.17-1kali1 (2018-02-16) x86_64 GNU/Linux java --version openjdk 10.0.1 2018-04-17 OpenJDK Runtime Environment (build 10.0.1+10-Debian-4)

JW, thanks for reporting this. We are aware of another user who had this issue when running Burp with Java 10, which is not currently supported. Can I suggest you try the Burp Linux Installer, which has a bundled JRE that we know works well with Burp. We will eventually make Burp work with Java 10, but this is a little down the line. Please let us know if you need any further assistance.

I just wanted to add that I am experiencing the same exact issue. I'll look into reverting to Java 8 as I've heard this seems to have the best compatibility.

I also had the same problem. Everything is working fine except that I can't see anything in raw tab. In my case its actually hidden from view but the data is still there. I just did ctrl+a and ctrl+c and pasted the data to a notepad, made the necessary changes and overwrote it in the raw tab....and it worked. The data is there but it seems that the color of the data is same as the background color making it illegible.

We haven't been able to reproduce the issue yet. However, the solution is to change the font in User options > Display > HTTP Message Display. Please let us know if you need any further assistance.

hey Liam, sorry that I didn't get back to you sooner. I recently moved to a new apartment, and then was out of town for a week. I saw other people discussing using the HTTP Msg Display option you mentioned, and although that didn't seem to work the 1st time I tried that fix, it did this time. Although I did just run the 1.7.36 update too, so who knows :) happy trails :)
