Running

There are several ways to run Burp-UI. You can either use the embedded Flask’s development server or you can use any of the deployement options provided by Flask.

Note

I personally focus on gunicorn support for production deployments

Sandboxing

If you want to play with Burp-UI to PoC it or if you are going to be the only user, you can absolutely use the embedded server. If you plan to run Burp-UI in production, then you should go with Gunicorn.

Option 1

You can run the embedded server with the following command:

burp-ui

By default, the server listens on localhost:5000. You can easily change this by adding the -- -h x.x.x.x -p yyyy options. See here for details.

Option 2

Prior to v0.4.0, you could specify the bind and port option within the Burp-UI configuration file. You can still use this behavior by running:

python -m burpui -m legacy [--help]

Note

Since v0.5.0, you can also use the burp-ui-legacy command to achieve the same thing.

Production

Like I said earlier, I recommend using Gunicorn for production deployments. You can refer to the dedicated gunicorn page of this documentation to know everything on how to Burp-UI through Gunicorn.
