Getting the error while launching burpsuite_pro_v1.6.35.jar. Error Description: "Error Invalid or Corrupt jarfile"

Hi Arun Thanks for your message. Have you tried downloading the .jar file again? You could also try updating to the latest version of Oracle Java. It's also possible that your browser or something else is modifying the files in some way during the download. Please can you try a different browser?

It sounds like something might be modifying your JAR file during or after download. Some OS utilities or browser extensions might do this trying to be helpful. You can run a checksum of your JAR file and compare it against the one in the public release notes for that version to verify the integrity of your file.

1. Tried downloading .jar file via different browsers, however doesn't work 2. The Oracle Java version is up-to date. 3. Tried downloading multiple times however doesn't work.

Hi Arun Thanks for your patience with this issue. We have implemented a fix which should mean you are able to download the correct version of Burp Suite.

Please can you try downloading the file again and see if it is now working?

The jar file corrupt file issues gettting resolved by downloading the burpsuit pro jar files from different browser. No need of updating the oracle java version.

Hi IIya Thanks for your message. We believed that this issue had been resolved. If you could share the file with us it would help us get the bottom of your corrupt .jar file. Would it be possible to upload the file to a file sharing site and provide us with a link?

I am having the same issue, with the same checksums: MD5 | SHA-1 -------------------------------------------------------|-------------------------------------------------------------------- ee4fa327e11353b9e80b47d51b7864ed | 3682cb6770d5885aa344c6443a96be61091369fd Link to downloaded file: https://www.dropbox.com/s/8dpmeivw00qb6f8/burpsuite_free_v1.6.32%20%281%29.jar?dl=0

We believe the issue you are having may be related to the download timing out. Approximately how long is the download taking? Is it more than a few minutes?

Burp User | Last updated: Apr 11, 2016 03:17PM UTC

Hi there I met the same issue too. But however I found a solution to fix it as follow: mv burpsuite_free_v1.6.32.jar burpsuit.jar unzip -d burpsuit.jar ./tmp cd ./tmp jar cmvf META-INF/MANIFEST.MF burpsuite.jar ./* now I can use java -jar burpsuite.jar hope it helps
