Analyzing scan results in Burp Suite DAST - Port Swigger
Summary: PortSwigger's tutorial walks through Burp Suite DAST's scan-result views: the Overview tab's charts update in real time while a scan runs, and the Issues tab lists findings color-coded by estimated severity and grouped by issue type, expandable to the URLs where each was detected. It directs users to filter by severity and confidence, confirm all reported issues manually, read the Advisory tab for remediation guidance, mark false positives, and export findings to development teams through the Reporting tab.
Key Takeaway: The tool's own guidance is that every reported issue needs manual confirmation, so the scan output is a starting point rather than a verdict - and the confidence filter exists because detection accuracy varies by issue type.
