View State Editor
Summary: PortSwigger lists ViewState Editor, a Burp Suite extension by Mike Smith at version 1.0, as a tool for viewing and editing the structure and contents of V1.1 and V2.0 ASP view state data through a tree view and an editor. The listing, last updated 10 March 2021, rates its overall system impact as low and notes that extensions are written by third-party users of Burp with no warranty from PortSwigger Web Security.
Key Takeaway: ASP view state is a common place for tampering and deserialization attacks, and this extension gives testers a direct editor for that data - but it is a third-party BApp last updated in March 2021, so anyone relying on it should weigh that age and the vendor's explicit no-warranty stance.
