Project corruption

Niraj | Last updated: Jul 14, 2020 07:18AM UTC

Every time i re-open already saved project burp says that the project file is corrupted and i have to repair that project to continue working. If i reopen the repaired project next time, burp again complains that the file is corrupted. This happens with any project file (.burp ) saved previously from different burp client as well. I am using burp pro v2020.5.1 Please let me know if you need any other info.

Hi. Could you try updating to the latest version (v2020.6) and see if that resolves your issue? Could you tell me the size of your project files? For example, are they large or small, or does it occur no matter the size? Have you tried saving a copy of your repaired file (using Project > Save copy)? If so, did the copy have the same corruption issues?

I am still using burp pro v2020.5.1 but i made one change, earlier i was closing the burp by clicking the cross button now i started closing it by Burp -> exit. Saved project seems to be working fine now. Not sure if there is any difference in 2 ways of closing. And yes Project -> save copy was also throwing corrupted project earlier as well. Hope it helps debug the issue.
