Unable to Start Brup Suite Pro

Timothy | Last updated: Apr 12, 2023 04:04PM UTC

I recently updated Burp Suite Pro to v2023.3.2 and can no longer execute Burp. I run a Kali Linux VM (latest iteration, fully patched) on a MacBook Pro M1. Up till now, I was successfully using openjdk 17.0.6 2023-01-17; although, for troubleshooting, I've also tried openjdk 19.0.2. I get the following error message when attempting to execute Burp. "Could not start Burp: java.lang.NullPointerException" I'm using the following command to execute Burp. java -jar -Xmx4g ./burpsuite_pro_v2023.3.2.jar Affixing --diagnostics to this command doesn't display anything further. Thanks in advance for any help!

I have the same issue. I can't even install Burpsuite Pro.

Hi We have identified an issue with the JAR file for the latest release (2023.3.2) when launching it on a Linux ARM64 machine. We are currently working on this. In the meantime, you should still be able to use the previous version.
