​PortSwigger, the developer behind Burp Suite (2025.2.3), has unveiled Burp AI, a suite of artificial intelligence (AI) features aimed at enhancing penetration testing workflows. These innovations are designed to save time, reduce manual effort, and improve the accuracy of vulnerability assessments.
A standout feature of Burp AI is “Explore Issue,” which autonomously investigates vulnerabilities identified by Burp Scanner. It simulates the actions of a human penetration tester by exploring potential exploit scenarios, identifying additional attack vectors, and summarizing findings. This automation minimizes the need for manual investigation, allowing testers to focus on validating and demonstrating the impact of vulnerabilities.
Another key component is “Explainer,” which offers AI-generated explanations for unfamiliar technologies encountered during testing. By highlighting portions of a Repeater message, users receive concise insights directly within the Burp Suite interface, eliminating the need to consult external resources.
Burp AI also addresses the challenge of false positives in scanning, particularly concerning broken access control vulnerabilities. By intelligently filtering out these inaccuracies, testers can concentrate on verified threats, enhancing the efficiency and reliability of their assessments.
To streamline the configuration of authentication for web applications, Burp AI introduces “AI-Powered Recorded Logins.” This feature automatically generates recorded login sequences, reducing the complexity and potential errors associated with manual setup.
Furthermore, Burp Suite extensions can now leverage advanced AI capabilities through the enhanced Montoya API. These AI interactions are integrated within Burp’s secure infrastructure, removing the necessity for additional setups such as managing external API keys.
To facilitate the use of these AI-powered tools, PortSwigger has implemented an AI credit system. Users receive 10,000 free AI credits, valued at $5, upon initiation, which are deducted as they utilize the various AI-driven features.
Complementing these advancements, Burp Suite now includes a Bambda library—a collection of reusable code snippets that simplify the creation of custom match-and-replace rules, table columns, filters, and more. Users can import templates or access a variety of ready-to-use Bambdas from the GitHub repository, enhancing the customization and efficiency of their security testing workflows.
Burp Suite Pro is a must-have tool for professional penetration testers and security researchers working on web applications. The combination of automation and manual testing capabilities makes it indispensable for serious security assessments. However, if you’re just starting, the Community Edition is a good way to get familiar with the tool before upgrading.
✅ Comprehensive Web Security Testing – Includes advanced scanning, fuzzing, and automation features.
