Can you please confirm the versions of your OS, Java and Burp. Are you installing using the BApp Store?

Burp User | Last updated: Jan 28, 2019 01:39PM UTC

Hi, thanks for reply! I have confirmed that the Java was the latest, the version burp is .31 and I am using windows 10 pro. I can install other bapps which is of Java.CSRF SCANNER for example.So, it is very strange for me to figure it out. Thanks again for your reply.

To add: yes, I use BApp Store on burp to install.

Please check if you can install other Python extensions (e.g. Active Scan++) or if the problem is specific to BurpSmartBuster Also, make sure you're using jython-standalone.jar

Burp User | Last updated: Jan 30, 2019 08:45AM UTC

When I use other python extensions, the issues occurs yet. I am sure I use the jython.jar.

Can you send us a screenshot of your Extender > Options tab. Just to be clear, it must be jython-standalone.jar that you use.

Lubomír, are you able to load other extensions written in Python?

Burp User | Last updated: May 28, 2019 08:30AM UTC

Hi, I see this error, with: - Ubuntu 16.04 - java version "11.0.1" 2018-10-16 LTS or java version "1.8.0_201" or openjdk version "1.8.0_212" - Burp Suite Community Edition v 1.7.36 - jython-standalone-2.7.0.jar (there is other error with non standalone version) - extension "Python Scripter" or extension "BurpSmartBuster" via BApp Store

Burp User | Last updated: May 30, 2019 11:59AM UTC

Which one would you like me to try, Liam?

Liam, PortSwigger Agent | Last updated: May 31, 2019 10:08AM UTC

Could you try loading Active Scan++?

Burp User | Last updated: Jul 07, 2019 10:58PM UTC

When I am trying to install Active Scan++ or other python built extensions, I got the same error which is java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Cannot create PyString with non-byte value. Yes, I am using the standalone jython now. Could you find a trivial solution?
