Start a Temp Project with Cli

John | Last updated: Jul 04, 2017 06:08PM UTC

Hi, We are limited to use Java 32bit and since it's not very supported it's not possible to work with projects, is there a way to work with temp projects automatically? i.e. launch burp without all the fancy start up wizards? (passing a config works fine)

There isn't an option for that at present. Is this just to save yourself a click at startup? Or are you trying to automate Burp? If it's the latter we can consider adding this.

It's intended more for the manual tester so it's to save the click\wizard, if i wanted to automate which i do :) I can use the headless option and then i don't have that problem at all java -Djava.awt.headless=true -Xmx1g -jar burpsuite_pro_v1.7.23.jar —config-file=project.json —config-file=user.json I just think it's easy to implement and should be fairly logical to have if you already added this new project based handling in burp. Also i see the 64 bit java more as a strict enforcement rather than a suggestion so that's also something i dislike, in my case there is nothing i can do about.

Hi John, Ok, we'll bear that in mind. There are significant enhancements to projects coming soon. Unfortunately, they are a 64-bit only feature. They use memory-mapped files internally, which have great performance, but restricted size on 32-bit.

Thanks :)

John, just to confirm, you want a command line option for using a temporary project to avoid clicking through the option?

Hello, I'm having this same problem, I would like to start Burp with --config-file and a temporary project but not headless in case I want to go review things later, I need burp to start up on boot and be ready to go without intervention. Thanks, John

Me too. Please add that feature. I want to have it run a VM in Backend and dont want to use the GUI. Afterwards the REST API is used. Therefore please add that feature. A real bad Workarround would be e.g. autoit, which a i want to avoid
