BurpGPT - ChatGPT Powered Vulnerability Detection Tool
A new vulnerability detection tool called BurpGPT has been introduced to help security researchers detect vulnerabilities that many traditional scanners might miss. Developed by Alexandre Teyar, a security researcher from the UK, BurpGPT is a ChatGPT-powered tool that combines Burp Suite with OpenAI’s GPT to perform a passive scan and traffic-based analysis.
Using this tool, web traffic is sent to a specified OpenAI model, allowing sophisticated analysis within the passive scanner to detect vulnerabilities in web applications. The plugin provides customizable prompts that adapt to each user’s demands and allows customized web traffic analysis. BurpGPT generates an automated security report summarizing potential security issues based on the user's prompt and real-time data from Burp-issued requests.
The BurpGPT extension accelerates vulnerability assessment, utilizing AI and natural language processing to provide security experts with a higher-level overview of the scanned application or endpoint. Some of the features of BurpGPT include:
- Gradle and configuration installation process
- Standalone jar build
- BurpGPT extension load in Burp Suite
- Burp passive scanner sends each request to the chosen OpenAI model for analysis
- Informational-level severity findings based on the results
- User-tailored traffic analysis prompts using a placeholder system
Before using BurpGPT, users need to install Gradle and complete the configuration. Once configured, follow the steps outlined above to load the BurpGPT extension in Burp Suite. The results produced by BurpGPT may help security experts identify potential vulnerabilities in web applications that could be missed by traditional scanners.
