Burp Suite is a tool used for web application security testing. It has several tabs that serve different purposes:
Proxy: The Proxy tab is used to intercept and modify HTTP requests and responses. For example, if you are testing a login page, you can use the Proxy tab to intercept the login request and modify the parameters to see if the application is vulnerable to injection attacks.
Target: The Target tab is used to set the scope of your testing. You can add a URL or IP address to the scope and Burp Suite will only test the specified targets.
Scanner: The Scanner tab is used to automatically scan for vulnerabilities in the target application. For example, you can use the Scanner tab to check for SQL injection, XSS, and other common vulnerabilities.
Intruder: The Intruder tab is used for brute-force attacks and fuzzing. For example, you can use the Intruder tab to test for weak passwords by trying different combinations of usernames and passwords.
Repeater: The Repeater tab is used to repeat requests and modify parameters to test for vulnerabilities. For example, you can use the Repeater tab to modify the value of a parameter and see if the application responds differently.
Decoder: The Decoder tab is used to decode and encode data. For example, you can use the Decoder tab to decode a Base64-encoded string.
Comparer: The Comparer tab is used to compare two responses and identify differences. For example, you can use the Comparer tab to compare a response from a normal user and a response from an admin user to see if there are any differences in the responses.
