Sample Burp Suite extension: traffic redirector
Summary: PortSwigger published a sample Burp Suite extension that redirects outgoing HTTP requests from one host to another, using "host1.example.org" and "host2.example.org" as placeholder from and to hostnames. The download includes source code in Java and Python, and the documentation notes the code must be edited with the user's own hostnames before use.
Key Takeaway: The stated use case is an application that moves to a different staging URL: redirecting traffic to the new hostname lets testers keep driving testing from the original site map, so a host change does not force a rebuild of mapped coverage.
