Request Permission to Bind to privileged Ports on Mac and Linux

Justin | Last updated: Nov 02, 2020 05:14PM UTC

Greetings, A common use case I have is to use burp to invisibly proxy desktop applications. In order to do so on the Mac OS, I need to either run burp as root from command line, or start another process to redirect to an unprivileged burp port. I would like to request that portswigger add the ability for burp to either request the ability to bind to privileged ports from the operating system, or have a built in tool that binds to this port instead of burp.
