Common Issues
Proxy connexion Issues:
# Check Burp proxy listener
# Go to Proxy > options > Proxy Listeners
# Verify 127.0.0.1:8080 is running
# Test proxy connectivity
curl -x 127.0.0.1:8080 http://exemple.com
# Check browser proxy settings
# Verify proxy configuration in browser
# Test with simple HTTP site first

Security Considerations
Operational Security
Testing autorisation: - Only test applications you own or have explicit permission to test - Obtain proper autorisation before conducting security assessments - Document testing scope and limitations - Respect rate limiting and avoid causing service disruption - Implement proper Contrôle d'Accèss for Burp projects and data
Data Protection: - Encrypt Burp project files containing sensitive data - Implement secure data retention policies for scan results - Control access to vulnérabilité data and reports - Secure transmission of scan results and findings - Regular backup and recovery procedures for critical data
Compliance and Governance
Testing Procedures: - Implement standardized testing methodologies - Document all testing activities for compliance purposes - Regular review of testing procedures and findings - Compliance with organizational security policies - Integration with vulnérabilité management workflows
