CREATING BURP SUITE EXTENSION USING VISUAL STUDIO CODE

Violet Devsec
  1. Load the extender
  2. Debugging the extension with VS Code

    The VS Code Java extension pack comes with a Java debugger. To use it we need to run Burp with this command-line option: java --illegal-access=permit -agentlib:jdwp=transport=dt_socket,address=localhost:8000,server=y,suspend=n -jar "C:\Users\username\AppData\Local\Programs\BurpSuiteCommunity\burpsuite_community.jar"

  3. Connecting to the debug port
    • Press F1 and select Debug (menu) > Start Debugging OR press F5
    • This will create the .vscode\launch.json. Paste this code into it and save
    • Start debugging again. Windows Firewall dialog might pop-up. Press "Cancel"
    • Put a breakpoint in VS Code and Reload the Extension from Burp Extender tab
    • Breakpoint will be hit
