Test thick client which is hard coded with server IP address?

Jacky | Last updated: Aug 28, 2017 09:21AM UTC

I understand that the Invisible Proxy mode can be used to proxy thick client's HTTP request. However, is this approach feasible for thick client that is hard-coded with server's IP address? The reference below is only applicable for situation where the thick client is coded to a hostname. https://portswigger.net/burp/help/proxy_options_invisible.html

Hi, Thanks for your message. To pass the traffic to Burp you need to use port forwarding. I've set this up in the past using Linux iptables to do the port forwarding. There are various tutorials online; you can search for "iptables port forwarding". Please let us know if you need any further assistance.
