burpsuite-project-parser

The burpsuite-project-parser skill provides a command-line workflow for searching and extracting information from Burp Suite project files (.burp) by leveraging Burp Suite Professional and the burpsuite-project-file-parser extension. Instead of manually navigating Burp Suite’s graphical interface, users can query captured HTTP traffic, response headers, request bodies, site map entries, and audit-related data directly from the terminal. The skill is designed to streamline large-scale analysis of Burp project data while minimizing the risk of loading excessively large datasets into the working context.

The skill focuses on efficient and targeted extraction of Burp project components through predefined sub-component filters. It supports searching response headers and bodies using regex patterns, reviewing proxy history and site map data, and extracting security-relevant findings from captured traffic. The documentation strongly emphasizes safe handling of large response bodies by enforcing truncation rules and recommending header-focused workflows before selectively retrieving body content. Wrapper scripts and environment-variable-based configuration improve portability across different systems and Java installations.

This skill is intended for security professionals, penetration testers, application security engineers, and researchers who regularly work with Burp Suite project files. It is particularly useful during web application assessments, HTTP traffic investigations, vulnerability research, and large-scale review of captured requests and responses. Teams that need automated or scriptable access to Burp project data can use this skill to efficiently filter and analyze traffic without performing full data exports or manual inspection in the Burp UI.
