Burp Suite Compatibility and Reporting Errors

This extension was last tested with the pro version 2023.10.1.1, the most recent stable release at the time of this documentation. It should also be compatible with the community edition.

For those keen on using the latest updates, the early-adapter branch is available.

We actively use this extension and occasionally observe potential errors, particularly when Burp Suite updates its core functionalities or UI. As an open-source project, we heavily rely on community feedback for enhancements and bug fixes. If you encounter any issues, kindly report them on our issues page. Additionally, if you value our work, please consider sponsoring this project.

Using the Legacy Extension

In the latest version of this extension, only the most recent version of Burp Suite is supported, as noted above. For older versions of Burp Suite, you can use the legacy version of the extension or refer to the original repository. The older versions of this extension can be downloaded from the legacy branch (with no support): https://github.com/mdsecresearch/BurpSuiteSharpener/tree/Legacy-Extension/release or https://github.com/mdsecresearch/BurpSuiteSharpener/releases

Suggesting New Features

The plan is to add simple but effective missing features to this single extension to make tester's life easier as a must-have companion when using Burp Suite (so we cannot Burp without it!).

Please feel free to submit your new feature requests using FR: in its title in issues.

It would be great to also list any known available extensions which might have implemented suggested features. Perhaps the best features can be imported from different open-source extensions so the overhead of adding different extensions can be reduced.
