Professional 1.6.10

Summary: PortSwigger released Burp Suite Professional 1.6.10 on 5 February 2015, adding new Scanner checks and improving existing ones for cross-site scripting and server-side code injection. The release also improved site map performance, added a UI option at Options / SSL / SSL Negotiation to disable the SNI extension as a workaround for a Java SSL connection failure, and added two Burp Extender APIs, getExtensionFilename() and isExtensionBapp().

Key Takeaway: The SNI workaround matters because Java 7 enables the extension by default and fails to connect to misconfigured servers that send an "Unrecognized name" warning, which browsers ignore - so testers were disabling SNI by command line until this UI option existed.
