How to configure Burp Suite for traffic to/from Docker container?

Nick | Last updated: Aug 17, 2019 08:43PM UTC

As titled really. I have it setup correctly to monitor all browser traffic, however when I'm hitting a local container web app at localhost, it isn't intercepting. Can you offer any guidance?

Just to clarify, where is Burp Suite in your set up? Is it installed on the Docker image?

Philip, can you clarify if you need assistance setting up your docker container or if you are providing a solution to Nicks question?

I'm discovering that the behavior of Docker client and dockerd using proxy is quite variable. I have not been able to sort out which configurations work for which use case, but if I want to run a container's network over the proxy, you have to set that up in ~/.docker/config.json "proxies": { "default": { "httpProxy": "http://127.0.0.1:8080", "httpsProxy": "http://127.0.0.1:8081", "noProxy": "*.test.example.com, .example2.com" } Docker Login, which makes a call to the remote registry server appears to not obey that directive. It appears to me that proxy has to be introduced when starting dockerd, but I can't figure out how. Since you need this for the container, the above config should work.
