burp-suite-error-message-checks

This Burp Suite 1.5+ extension passively detects server error messages in running applications. Some examples:

  • Fatal error: Call to a member function getId() on a non-object in /var/www/docroot/application/modules/controllers/ModalController.php on line 609
  • You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax
  • [SEVERE] at net.minecraft.server.World.tickEntities(World.java:1146)
  • System.Web.UI.Page.ProcessRequestMain(Boolean includeStagesBeforeAsyncPoint) +2071
  • c() called at [/tmp/include.php:10]
  • Use of uninitialized value in string eq at /Library/Perl/5.8.6/WWW/Mechanize.pm line 695

Often error messages may go unnoticed by a tester who is only looking at the application UI. This extension is designed to passively detect error messages, even during scanning, spidering, etc.

Match rules are loaded from a remote tab-delimited file at extension startup. Users can also load their own match rules from a local file or using the BApp GUI.

Building:

mvn clean install
