Writing your first Burp Suite extension - Port Swigger
Summary: PortSwigger published a tutorial for writing a first Burp Suite extension in Java using the Montoya API, covering setting the extension's name, registering a custom context menu item, logging messages to the Output tab, and creating a custom Burp Suite tab. The walkthrough requires a working extension development environment and a Java class implementing the BurpExtension interface with an initialize() method that accepts a montoyaApi object.
Why it matters: Extensions built this way run inside Burp with access to its functionality through the montoyaApi object, so the same context menu and tab hooks a tester uses to log a message can carry whatever code the extension author writes.
