Remove entries from "Open existing project"

Abbadon | Last updated: Jul 24, 2017 09:13AM UTC

Hello, how can I delete entries from Burp's "Open existing project" list without deleting or moving the burp files? Where does Burp maintain the list of existing projects? Thanks

Hi Abbadon, Thanks for your inquiry. The list is kept within the Java preferences store. Here is a Jython snippet you can use to read the first one: Pauls-Mac-Pro:Desktop$ java -jar jython-standalone-2.7.0.jar >>> from java.util.prefs import Preferences >>> Preferences.userRoot().node('burp').get('suite.recentProjectNames0', '') u'Temporary Project' I think you'll be able to figure it out from there. Let us know if you need any further assistance.

How to remove existing project entries in the startup dialogue box?

Are you trying to remove them without deleting them? Have you tried Paul's suggestion above? You may need to use the 'remove' method instead of 'get'.
