Hi Michael We have received your email and have now replied. Please note that we are a UK-based company and do observe the bank holidays. We have a very small team available at the moment, and we are trying our best to address any urgent issues.

What was the fix for this? I am seeing the same "error initializing target tool" when I load a project.

Hi George What version of Burp are you using? The above user's solution was to make a new project file and import the 'problem' project file into it. The target tool was then initialized. If the above does not work, can you please email support@portswigger.net with your diagnostics? You can find this by going to Help> Diagnostics.

I am using the current version of Burp Pro (2024.2.1.3). Creating a new project and importing the old project appears to work. Thank you.
