- Burp Decoder — purpose & features: decode/encode request and response content (URL, HTML, Base64, ASCIIhex, etc.); smart-decode that detects likely encodings automatically; useful for deobfuscating payloads and analyzing encoded data.
- Burp Comparer — purpose & uses: visually diff two pieces of content (requests/responses) to highlight added, removed, or changed text; great for spotting subtle response differences during username enumeration, analyzing Intruder outputs, or comparing blind-SQLi responses.
- Burp Sequencer — purpose & methodology: collect samples of tokens (session IDs, CSRF nonces) via live capture or manual input; run statistical/randomness tests (including FIPS-like tests) to evaluate entropy and predictability of serial values.
- Supplemental engagement tools — overview & workflows:
- Search: find strings or regexes across requests/responses to locate indicators or sensitive data.
- Analyze target: map dynamic vs. static content and enumerate parameters to organize testing.
- Discover content: brute-force files/directories using wordlists and extensions to reveal hidden endpoints.
- Find commands/scripts/references: locate inline commands, client/server scripts, comments, and external references that may leak sensitive info.
- Schedule task / Simulate manual testing: administrative helpers (note: “Simulate manual testing” is largely cosmetic according to the source).
- Practical guidance: combine these utilities with Proxy/Repeater/Intruder workflows—use Decoder to prepare payloads, Comparer to validate behavioral differences, Sequencer to verify token strength, and Discover/Analyze tools to expand your attack surface.
- Security & process note: gather samples and perform destructive tests only within authorized scope; document findings and test methods for reproducible PoCs.
