Network and firewall rule reference - Port Swigger
Summary: PortSwigger published a network and firewall rule reference listing the inbound and outbound access Burp Suite DAST needs across five deployment combinations: cloud or self-hosted instances, each running scans on PortSwigger's infrastructure, self-hosted scans, or CI-driven scans. The requirements include inbound access from scanner IPs or scanning machines, outbound access to *.oastify.com on ports 80 and 443, outbound access to the sites being scanned, outbound access to Dashboard IPs, and for self-hosted setups outbound access to the DAST server on port 8072 and database access on port 9092 for the embedded database.
What's compelling: Every one of these rules is a hole opened in your firewall, and the list includes outbound access to the sites you want to scan plus a wildcard domain on ports 80 and 443 - so the scanner's reach is only as contained as the rules you write around it.
