Backend¶

Here is the backend interface definition in order to implement a new backend.

class burpui.misc.backend.interface.BUIbackend(server=None, conf=None)[source]¶

The burpui.misc.backend.interface.BUIbackend class provides a consistent interface backend for any burp server.

Parameters:	server (`burpui.server.BUIServer`) – `Flask` server instance in order to access logger and/or some global settings conf (str) – Configuration file to use

cancel_server_backup(client=None, agent=None)[source]¶
