Requirements¶
Please note that, Burp-UI must be running on the same server that runs the burp-server for some features.
Note
At the moment, Burp-UI and this doc is mostly debian-centric but feel free to contribute for other distributions!
Python¶
Burp-UI is built against python 2.7. The support for python 2.6 has been removed since it is not supported anymore by the CPython core team. Unit tests are ran against python 2.7 and python 3.4. If you encounter compilation errors with one of these version, feel free to report them.
Debian Wheezy¶
It looks like some requirements are not automatically installed on Debian Wheezy. You can install them with the following command:
pip install "burp-ui[debian_wheezy]"
LDAP¶
For LDAP authentication (optional), we need extra dependencies. You can install them using the following command:
pip install "burp-ui[ldap_authentication]"
SSL¶
If you would like to use SSL, you will need the python-openssl
package.
On Debian:
aptitude install python-openssl
Alternatively, you can install the python package using the following command:
pip install "burp-ui[ssl]"
Burp1¶
The burp1 backend supports burp versions from 1.3.48 to
1.4.40.
With these versions of burp, the status port is only listening on the machine
loopback (ie. localhost
or 127.0.0.1
). It means you MUST run
Burp-UI on the same host that is running your burp server in order to be able
to access burp’s statistics.
Alternatively, you can use a bui-agent.
Burp2¶
The burp2 backend supports only burp 2.0.18 and above. Some versions are known to contain critical issues resulting in a non-functional Burp-UI: 2.0.24, 2.0.26 and 2.0.30 If you are using an older version of burp2 Burp-UI will fail to start.
