Configuring Burp Credentials Using Credential Manager

This article explains how to configure your Burp Suite Enterprise credentials within the Strobes platform using the Credential Manager. This setup is essential to enable Burp-based scans and asset/vulnerability sync within Strobes.

Prerequisites

Before proceeding, ensure you have:

  • Access to your Burp Suite Enterprise dashboard.
  • Your Burp Suite API Key and the REST API endpoint URL.
  • Necessary permissions in Strobes to manage credentials.

Step-by-Step Instructions

  • Click on Credential Manager.

2. Add a New Credential

  • Click on the "Add Credential" button.
  • From the list of available connectors, select Burp Suite Enterprise.

3. Enter Burp Configuration Details

You will now be prompted to fill in the required configuration fields:

  • Name: Provide a name for this credential (e.g., Burp ProductionBurp QA).
  • URL: Enter the base URL where your Burp REST API service is hosted (e.g., https://burp.example.com/api).
  • API Key: Paste the API key generated from your Burp instance.

4. Save the Credential

  • Once all fields are filled in, click on Save.
  • Your Burp credentials are now securely stored and ready to use for scan configurations.

What’s Next?

Now that your Burp credentials are configured, you can use them to:

  • Set up a Burp scan in the Dynamic Application Scanners section.
  • Automatically fetch vulnerabilities into Strobes from your Burp instance.
