Professional / Community 2021.12

Summary: PortSwigger released Burp Suite Professional/Community 2021.12 on 9 December 2021, adding the ability to set payload positions in Intruder's target host field so a single attack can target multiple hosts, with the old Target tab settings folded into the Positions tab. The release also adds Inspector toolbar options for docking the panel left or right and toggling line wrapping, a dedicated installer for Apple M1 (Arm64) Macs, Chromium 96.0.4664.45 for Burp's browser, and turns Burp Proxy's Intercept feature off by default on new installations.
Why it matters: Intercept being off by default on new installs removes a long-standing setup failure where users forgot to disable it before browsing, while the multi-host Intruder change lets one attack span many web applications at once - a wider blast radius to scope before testing.
