What Burp Suite is

A web application security testing platform. At its core: an intercepting proxy that sits between your browser and the target web app. You see every request and response; you can modify them before they’re sent.

Editions:

  • Community — free, slower scanner, no automated active scanning. Fine for learning + manual testing.
  • Professional — $475/year, adds vulnerability scanner, intruder acceleration, collaborator, DOM analysis.
  • Enterprise — CI/CD integration, team features, dashboards.

For hands-on learning and most pentests, Community + your skill is enough.
