## Installation

Install [burpsuite](https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/burpsuite/) from [AUR](/index.php/AUR "AUR").

## Configuration

Burp Proxy will work out of the box with HTTP connections. For HTTPS, PortSwigger's certificate must be installed first.

### Install HTTPS certificate in Firefox

Start up Burp:

```
$ burpsuite

```

and open the *Proxy -> Options*. In the *Proxy Listeners* section add a new interface. Set *Interface* to `127.0.0.1:8080` and make sure the *Running* checkbox is enabled.

Navigate to `[http://127.0.0.1:8080/](http://127.0.0.1:8080/)` in Firefox, click the *CA Certificate* link at top right and save the certificate file somewhere.

In Firefox open the *Preferences* window and go to *Advanced -> Certificates -> View Certificates*. Click *Import* and select the file. Check the *Trust this CA to identify websites* checkbox and click *OK*.
