WSDLER

During your penetration testing or bug bounty hunting, you might encounter SOAP-based APIs. They are web services that you can consume according to a file that describes the actions they expose and how to call them. This file is based on the Web Services Description Language (WSDL).

Whenever you find one, you can parse it using Wsdler. Additionally, this Burp extension constructs the HTTP requests as the API expects them.

JSON Beautifier

This is one of my favourite extensions I use for my bug bounty hunting. Before Burp Suite rolled its Pretty button feature, this was the first extension I needed to install after any fresh Burp Suite setup. Nowadays, the majority of web applications use RESTful APIs which generally use JSON objects to transfer data between the client and the server. JSON Beautifier prettifies the inline JSON data to make your life easier.

J2EEScan

This extension I used to test J2EE web applications, which are Java web applications that support enterprise-level requirements, such as scalability and availability. Therefore, I use J2EEScan to assist me in finding vulnerabilities for the most common CVEs that target J2EE technologies.

The extension adds test cases to the BurpSuite Scanner. Therefore, there is no additional configuration after you install it. All you have to do is run a scan and wait for vulnerabilities in the Issue Activity panel in the Burp’s Dashboard tab.

JSON WEB Tokens

When you do bug bounty hunting or web application penetration testing, it is a pain to manually copy the tokens from Burp Suite and paste them into your favourite parsing tool, such as jwt.io. This extension allows you to parse the token within Burp, the same way JSON Beautifier prettifies inline JSON objects.

Turbo Intruder

This extension allows you to send large numbers of HTTP requests to a target web application. If you have Burp Community, you know that you can only work with a limited version of the Intruder which does not support multiple threads. Instead, you can use Turbo Intruder.

Since this Burp extension uses a Python snippet that you can edit, I recommend you get familiar with the basics of the Python programming language. That way, you can customize Turbo Intruder to bring more flexibility when you brute force.

Upload Scanner

Whenever you encounter a file upload feature that uses the multipart mime type, I encourage you to give this Burp extension a try. In fact, you can use it to probe the upload features for many security issues.

It fuzzes all the parameters using a set of organized categories that you can choose from. If the application retrieves the uploads, you can configure Upload Scanner to fetch the files to verify cases like XSS.

Java Deserialization Scanner

This Burp extension checks for insecure deserialization issues in Java applications. It uses pre-built serialized Java objects to probe the application for a callback. You can configure this feedback to be either a time delay or a callback. If the application sleeps for some time before responding, or if you receive a hit as a callback, the extension highlights exactly what payload has triggered it. Therefore, you can prepare your own payload using tools such as Serial.

PS: Comment your favourite extension I will make a blog on that😍
