HTTP Hacker

Summary: PortSwigger Research lists HTTP Hacker, a Burp extension by Martin Doyhenard at version 1.1.0, last updated 11 December 2025, that gives advanced interaction and control over HTTP servers and proxies using persistent TCP/TLS connections. It offers complete visibility of HTTP messages without automatic parsing, direct access to request and response queues, a visual drag-and-drop interface, a built-in testing framework, and multiple HTTP editors for manipulating traffic at different stages of a connection.

What's compelling: The extension is written by a third-party Burp user, and PortSwigger states it makes no warranty about its quality or usefulness for any particular purpose - a consideration for teams installing it into a security testing workflow.
