Burp Suite Community Edition is a platform where users are able to perform different types of testing on web applications. By using this application, individuals can combine manual techniques with multiple tools and realize an entire testing process.

The installation process does take several minutes to complete and, once it's done, you are greeted by a standard interface, with no skin themes, fancy colors, or stylish buttons.

Its features are various and require a decent technical background in order to use them properly. A tool called Target provides in-depth information about your target applications and thus finalizes the process of testing their vulnerabitlities.

Another important tool is the Intruder, which has the purpose of conducting automated attacks against web applications. Thus, you are able to automate tests and figure out what are the vulnerabilities of your app.

Other included tools are the Decoder, for performing manual or intelligent decoding and encoding of data; the Repeater, for manipulating and analyzing HTTP requests, or the Extender, for loading Burp extensions.

To sum it up, Burp Suite Community Edition is a complex tool, designed mostly for testers and QA analysts, equipped with various tools to perform several types of tests. Yet, the generated reports can be improved, as well as the number of false positives it discovers.
