What is "Target" means in Burp Repeater

wan-zeng | Last updated: Aug 25, 2020 08:44AM UTC

hi support, I have a question about a parameter in Burp Repeater What is "Target" means in Burp Repeater? In my understanding , this "Target" which is the host url that current I request for Above of my understanding, is that correctly? For example: ------------------ Request 1 ------------------ request url: https://google.com ---- Request 1 HTTP Request Header ----- POST / HTTP/1.1 Host: google.com Accept: */* "Target: https://google.com" --------------------------------------------- Then, i edit "Target" to "http://bing.com", "port" to "80" At this time, i send a request to "Target" with original HTTP request header ------------------ Request 2 ------------------ request url: http://bing.com ---- Request 2 HTTP Request Header ----- POST / HTTP/1.1 Host: google.com Accept: */* "Target: http://bing.com" --------------------------------------------- I have a few questions about the cases above: 1. In the case Request 2, Burp will sent the same HTTP Request Header as case Reqest 1 to http://bing.com right? 2. Which means, change "Target" parameter, the request will send to another host, the two sessions are different, is that correctly? 3. Is there some documents about "Target" in Burp Repeater? Or some official description about that? Thanks!
