Request Highlighter
Summary: Request Highlighter is a Burp Suite extension, version 0.3, that automatically highlights HTTP requests in the Proxy history tab based on header content such as Host, User-Agent, Cookies, Auth token, and custom headers. Written by Davide 'TwiceDi' Danelon of BeDefended Srl and last updated 23 July 2018, it is intended to help testers identify requests belonging to different sessions, hosts, browsers, or devices.
Key Takeaway: This is a third-party extension last updated in 2018, and PortSwigger states it makes no warranty about the quality or usefulness of extensions written by third-party users of Burp - so a tool that parses your session cookies and auth tokens carries that caveat.
