Let’s be honest, the first time I opened Burp Suite, I had no idea what I was looking at. There were so many tabs: Proxy, Target, Repeater, and more. It felt like opening Photoshop for the first time, but with even less color.
But everyone in cybersecurity circles kept mentioning it as the tool for poking around web apps. So I decided to give it a real shot — starting from scratch.
Burp Suite is like a set of hacking tools bundled into one. But at its heart, it’s a proxy — that means it sits between your browser and the internet. Everything you do in your browser? Burp sees it first.
The magic happens because Burp lets you intercept, modify, and inspect this web traffic. You get to see what your browser sends to websites — and what comes back.
