Searching/Matching/Extracting Arabic/Hebrew Keywords isn't Working

ahmad | Last updated: Jan 17, 2023 11:32AM UTC

For example when I type a text in Arabic/Hebrew Language under "Match and Replace" Under "Proxy->Options" it doesn't find a match even though there is one... The same for burp intruder when I extract a text in Hebrew/Arabic it's being showed in a strange way. This was working like 6-7 months ago...

Thanks for your message, Ahmad. Do you know which version of Burp this worked with? You can download older versions of Burp Suite from our releases page - https://portswigger.net/burp/releases

Hi, It was a pretty old version ~1.5 years ago from what I remember so downgrading isn't an option as I will miss a lot of other features. Aren't you planning to fix this bug? it's been for a while now Tried to URL-encode the phrases but that doesn't seem to help

Hi Is the text displaying correctly in the message editor, or is it getting modified? If you use the "Search" bar to locate specific characters in the request/response, does it locate them as expected?

Yes it's displaying correctly, plus search bar works as expected.
