Launch burpsuite_pro.zar from command line C#

Vinay | Last updated: Mar 04, 2019 01:09PM UTC

Hi support, I want to integrate burp into our exitsing automated regression suite which is written in C# using visual studio. I am thinking of doing below : 1. Launch burp from zar file from command line. 2. Call the burp rest api available to start the scan , get status etc. I am able to launch the it manually from command line in UI mode. But i want to launch it from Visual Studio and in headless mode. When I am using --headless.mode="true". The command prompt says : Invalid command. Please provide me a sample to launch burp in headless mode i.e non GUI mode from Visual Studio.

The usual way to launch Burp headless is: bc. java -Djava.awt.headless=true -jar burpsuite_pro.jar Try this in a command prompt and once you've got it working, the same should work in Visual Studio.

Paul, Thanks , it worked for me. I am now able to access the rest api as well. But don't know how to get the response in xml format. Please see below my calls: I want this in xml format. HttpWebRequest request = WebRequest.Create("http://127.0.0.1:1337/v0.1/knowledge_base/issue_definitions") as HttpWebRequest; HttpWebResponse response = request.GetResponse() as HttpWebResponse;

Hi Vinay, Great that you got it working. The API only supports JSON as an output format, not XML. You should be able to use the JSON parser in .Net to process it. Please let us know if you need any further assistance.
