What’s New In Burp Suite 2023.6?

Along with numerous enhancements and bug fixes, this latest release is accompanied by the BChecks, revolutionizing the concept of custom scan checks. 

Burp Scanner’s live crawl path views have significantly improved, while GraphQL scan checks have received considerable attention.

Here below, we have summarized the newly added and updated features:-

Burp Scanner seamlessly incorporates these checks into its existing scanning routine, allowing you to optimize your scans and streamline your testing workflow with utmost efficiency.

Burp’s browser screenshot can be viewed at any crawl location, accessible through the Crawl paths tab in the scan task details window, while the shortest crawl path tree is enclosed when a project file is reopened.
