PortSwigger, the makers of Burp Suite, has taken a giant leap forward in the field of cybersecurity with the launch of Burp AI, a groundbreaking set of artificial intelligence (AI) features designed to streamline and enhance penetration testing workflows.

With Burp AI, security professionals can now save time, reduce manual effort, and increase accuracy in their vulnerability assessments.

Key Features of Burp AI

The newly introduced Burp AI comes packed with innovative tools that cater to a diverse range of security testing needs:

1. Explore Issue

This feature autonomously investigates vulnerabilities identified by Burp Scanner. Acting like a human penetration tester, it explores possible exploit scenarios, identifies additional attack vectors, and summarizes findings.

This reduces time spent on manual investigations and allows testers to focus on validating and demonstrating impact.

2. Explainer

For testers facing unfamiliar technologies, this feature provides AI-generated explanations.

Simply highlight part of a Repeater message, and Burp AI generates concise insights without requiring you to leave the Burp Suite interface.

3. Broken Access Control False Positive Reduction

Burp AI addresses one of the most common challenges in scanning—false positives.

By intelligently filtering out false positives for broken access control vulnerabilities, testers can focus solely on critical, verified threats.

4. AI-Powered Recorded Logins

Configuring authentication for web applications can be complex and error-prone.

Burp AI can now automatically generate recorded login sequences, saving time and ensuring precision in the testing process.

5. AI-Enabled Extensions

Burp Suite extensions can now harness advanced AI features via the newly enhanced Montoya API.

AI interactions are seamlessly integrated within Burp’s secure infrastructure, eliminating the need for additional setups, like managing external API keys.

PortSwigger has introduced AI credits as a payment system for using Burp AI-powered tools. These credits are deducted when utilizing AI-driven features.

To encourage adoption, users are provided with 10,000 free AI credits (valued at $5) upon getting started.

Advancing Customization: Bambda Library

To support task personalization, Burp Suite now includes a Bambda library. Bambdas are reusable code snippets that simplify creating custom match-and-replace rules, table columns, filters, and more. Users can import templates or explore a wide range of ready-to-use Bambdas from the GitHub repository.

PortSwigger aims to streamline extension development with a starter project for the Montoya API. This project includes pre-configured templates, enabling developers to dive into coding effortlessly.

Burp Suite ensures that all AI features run securely within PortSwigger’s trusted infrastructure. Importantly, user data is not used to train third-party AI models, reinforcing its commitment to privacy.

With Burp AI, PortSwigger has effectively merged artificial intelligence with cutting-edge cybersecurity tools.

By simplifying complex tasks, reducing manual effort, and enhancing accuracy, Burp AI sets a new standard in penetration testing.

As organizations continue to face evolving cyber threats, tools like Burp AI will undoubtedly play a pivotal role in safeguarding digital ecosystems.
