Burp Suite

Burp Suite is used for web application penetration testing; it is a powerful tool that can be used to cover every aspect of web application testing. Some of the main features of Burp Suite include the following:

• Interception proxy: This is used to inspect and modify the requests and responses that your browser makes towards the targeted web application
• Spider: This can be used to list all the directories on a web server
• Intruder: This is used to create and perform customized attacks
• Repeater: This is used to replay requests

Kali Linux contains a wealth of useful tools, and what we have covered here is just a drop in the ocean. From Chapter 3, Performing Information Gathering, onward, we will be working with a lot more tools within Kali Linux.
