That’ll take a moment to run, and when it’s done you’ll have the latest version of Burp Suite installed. So, in your terminal, migrate to whichever folder it downloaded to an run the following: chmod +x burpsuite_community_linux_v.sh. You’ll get what is possibly the largest bash script I’ve ever seen in my life. Head over to Portswigger and get the download for Burp Suite Community Edition. So, anyway, I’ve put together a little guide to help you get started pentesting from Ubuntu with Burp Suite.

Say what you want about Ubuntu, it’s certainly no Arch Linux, but for what I do (which, these days, is mostly development) it’s stable, easy to use, and gives me enough control to not complain very much. I like it, it’s just fine, but I’m not ever going to use it as my daily driver, and sometimes I just want to be able to look at some API calls intelligently from my main OS.

I get asked a lot about what tooling I’m using these days for web app pentesting, and why I’m not using Kali for everything.
