Add path to Basic Authentication forms if discovered

Alex | Last updated: Jan 29, 2018 10:42AM UTC

I like spidering, etc cetera while "do platform authentication" and "prompt for credentials on authentication failure" is enabled, because the pop up form shows me that there is some interesting on the site. But I don't know where Burp found the 401 request. I don't like to filter or check the logs afterwards because this consumes time. Could you please add this kind of information to the pop up form instead of only showing the hostname? That would be very helpful and much faster! Thanks in advance. Best regards Alex

Hi Alex, Thanks for your suggestion. I agree, this would be a useful feature. In fact, it has been requested before and is on our long-term development plan. However, it's likely to be some time until we get to it. In principle it would be possible for an extension to provide a similar popup, and that could include extra information.

Yes, for example I requested it in 2012 via e-mail. ;-)
