Send to Decoder character limit

exploresecurity | Last updated: Sep 27, 2016 09:25AM UTC

Hi there Any reason Send to Decoder only transfers the first 10,000 characters? When I copy and paste, the whole lot comes over - granted, that's a different buffer, but given that Send to Repeater handles larger blocks, this seems like a bug. If it *is* necessary, a warning would be useful. Thanks Jerome

In the current implementation of the Decoder tool, the work involved in performing most common operations is a roughly linear function of the size of the data being manipulated. There is a hard-coded limit of 10,000 when sending items from other Burp tools because in practice these can be huge (many Mbs in size). Since most use cases for Decoder are operating on reasonably small pieces of encoded data, this shouldn't normally be a problem.
