Professional 1.5.17
Summary: PortSwigger released Burp Suite Professional 1.5.17 on Tuesday, 17 September 2013, adding a "copy as curl command" context-menu function, an Extender option to load library JAR files from a specified folder, and new IBurpExtenderCallbacks methods to list and remove extension-provided resources and to print to an extension's stdout or stderr. The release also reworked the Intruder numbers payload generator to handle numbers of arbitrary size and precision beyond Java's native arithmetic, added a hotkeyable Proxy action to forward a request and force interception of the response, and fixed bugs in session handling, Intruder custom iterators, extension-provided Scanner checks, and the CSRF PoC generator.
What you should know: The release notes state that if the number of payloads exceeds 2^31, Burp reports the count as "unknown" but the attack still proceeds - a reminder that tooling can launch work at a scale no one can actually complete or fully track.
