Comprehensive Exploration of Web Application Security Testing with Burp Suite Tools

Abstract

This research paper investigates the pivotal role of Burp Suite tools in web application security testing, aligned with the foundational principles of secure coding practices outlined by the Open Web Application Security Project (OWASP). The paper provides an in-depth overview of Burp Suite tools, emphasizing their features and the significance of web application vulnerability scanning in enforcing robust security practices. The exploration includes a detailed examination of Burp Repeater and Burp Intruder, with a practical demonstration of a Burp Suite cluster bomb attack. This research contributes to advancing the understanding and application of Burp Suite tools for effective web application security testing within the framework of OWASP secure coding practices.
