Burp Suite Professional: feature roundup

Summary: PortSwigger's roundup of recent Burp Suite Professional features covers manual and automated HTTP/2 testing, including HTTP/2-exclusive attacks the company says it pioneered and which Burp Scanner can now run automatically. The release also adds API scanning that parses OpenAPI v3 REST definitions written in JSON, plus an embedded Chromium browser that enables DOM Invader, authenticated scanning, and JavaScript scanning with proxy settings adjusted automatically and no manual CA certificate install.
Key Takeaway: The article cites Okta quoting Gartner that by 2022 API abuses will be the most frequent attack vector causing data breaches in enterprise applications, and notes HTTP/2's attack surface had barely been audited until suitable tooling existed.
