Burp Suite

Debian Linux

The jarwrapper library is required to install burpsuite:

Installing burpsuite with KaliTools

Use KaliTools to install burpsuite on a non-Kali machine:

cd kali-tools
python3 kali.py burpsuite
cd dist/burpsuite
dpkg-buildpackage -us -uc -b
cd ../
sudo dpkg -i burpsuite_1.7.30-0kali1_all.deb
sudo apt-get upgrade burpsuite

Incompatible JRE

Ran into a problem with the Burp Suite community edition:

"Your JRE appears to be version 11.0.14 from Debian. Burp has not been fully tested on this platform and you may experience problems."

I used aptitude to install the openjdk-11-jre package, and that's the package causing the above error. It seemed like it should have been working fine. I tried upgrading jarwrapper, and that did the trick:

sudo apt-get -y upgrade jarwrapper
