Burp Suite

Intro 6

So I work closely with a load of pen testers, and have obviously learned a lot from them. I haven’t actually tried it on this level 6 challenge, but I’m presuming I could intercept the POST request to the server and change the pertinent field to Ronald there. Which would be an over-complicated solution to messing with the HTML code behind the scenes.

Would using tools like Burp Suite be overthinking these challenges?

Not going to name pen testers, but the company I work for is the largest in the UK.

I was overthinking it - I did find a simpler way of doing it.

Although the classic way at work would have been using Burp and it would have been reported as ‘broken access controls’.

Consideration is also given to how ‘real world’ an attack is - the solution for this challenge is ‘low tech’ but it’s probably more in reach of most malicious insiders than using an intercepting proxy.
