The Crawler – Still arachnid based, never fear.

I have always wondered how application crawlers were going to deal with the problem of infinitely crawl-able application spaces that self enumerate your efforts to map an application into oblivion. Now with Burp’s new crawler being able to map a given application through induction, I think it will greatly speed up the process and present data in a much more understandable way. I will post more once I have tried it out.

But first!… I think that Haddix published a great starter intro to Burp Suite in case you haven’t used it before. Check it out here.

Great things to remember that Haddix points out:

• Setting up multiple profiles in Chrome to keep Burp slender and fit
• A VPN is useful for masking your IP in case your testing traffic gets you banned
• Getting your Burp Cert installed in the keychain on your mac for Chrome can be tricky. Un-tricky it here.
